Default My laptop just had this problem
[and tbqh I'm sick of my laptops having problems <_<]

where in every window I had open - Firefox, iTunes, MSN - the computer seemed to think I was holding down the CTRL button. So that every time I pressed a key it would execute an action (F being search, P being print, etc.)

It's now stopped since I restarted the laptop - but wtf happened? I didn't press anything :/ I was watching iPlayer.

It was so frustrating because I couldn't type anything, and every link I clicked would open in a new tab.

I've only just got this laptop on Tuesday as well

Sticky keys is so annoying. It happens if you hit 'Shift' five times in a row.
