Yes, shift-clicking can and does generate a "[" lying on its back.
This happens every time you hit the shift key five times without hitting any
other keys. Try it now: SHIFT-SHIFT-SHIFT-SHIFT-SHIFT. What this means is that
Easy Access is now on.Then press the {SHFT,OPTN,CMD} key, and the key AFTER that
press will be {SHIFTED,OPTND,CMDED}. However, if you press the {SHFT,OPTN,CMD}
key -twice-, ALL keys with be altered until you press the SHIFT key five more
times to make it go away.
To nuke this annoying feature, trash the "Easy Access" file in your system
folder.
It's an INIT that is documented in the Read Me on your Utilities disk.
