Current Behavior

While typing, i couldn't type the small 'i' key. There was no error, instead the input was simply rejected. when i spammed the key, a notification popped up saying: 'Opposite shift mode is enabled'.
Typing the i with either the right or left shift resulted in an error, after which the small i was still rejected.

Unfortunately, i don't know how to reproduce the issue. However, i have had this happen twice before.

Expected Behavior

When typing the small i, it is accepted and i can type the next letter

Steps To Reproduce

I’ll investigate this. The account config shows oppositeShiftMode: "on", and since the i key is being completely rejected rather than just marked incorrect, this may be related to the Opposite Shift Mode keyboard handling.

I’ll try to reproduce it with Opposite Shift Mode enabled/disabled and investigate the keyboard event handling.

I typed more with Opposite shift mode and had it happen 3 or 4 times more.
I've found that after typing the key with the wrong shift key, you can then enter it normally again,
so perhaps that shift key is presumed to be pressed, and pressing and releasing it resets it.
I still don't know how to reproduce it.
If it happens again i will test around it more.
