Thanks for reply. I took a look and do not see any xorg.conf. That file
was always a problem for me in the earlier days when it was necessary and I
really am hoping I don't have to do one now!
There is a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-**system-setup-keyboard.conf (or
something to that effect as I am writing from memory given the Fedora box
is downstairs and I'm on my upstairs box)

Hi!
I am nearly certain this is accidental triggering of SLOW KEYS , a feature
to assist the physically impaired. It gets triggered if you rest your
finger on the shift key for 10 seconds. The kb is not dead, but slow. Rest
finger in shift 10 seconds again, slow keys turns off. Ways exist to
reconfigure, there is a long bug report in the reshot bugzilla. I can't
send link from this phone, but you should search . You'll find my name );
