HI,
I can't figure out what I did but I'v somehow changed the function of the left shift key. The right shift key still works correctly.
If I hit the left shift key and then press K for example I get that. All the keys give a different symbol or accented letter. I've looked in keyboard preferences and reset where possible but nothing has fixed the issues. Can anyone help?

are there apple employees on this site to help with questions¿
Most likely...
The option (alt, ⌥) key is either stuck down, or is being depressed along with the left shift key. Probably the left option key. This is either a stuck key, or the keyboard has failed. There are instructions posted around the net for keyboard repairs, or — if the system is under warranty — have Apple take a look at it.
Less likely, and though the following probably isn't the problem...
In Keyboard Preferences, check that the languages are as expected, and that the input sources are as expected.
Reboot through Safe Mode, and see if the problem occurs in Safe Mode, and if it reoccurs after rebooting normally.
This is a user forum, and the folks from Apple aren't necessarily going to see or reply to postings here.
