Explanation:
1.The fingers on your left hand should be placed over the A, S, D, and F keys and the fingers on your right hand should be placed over the J, K, L, and ; keys. These keys are considered the home row keys. Your thumbs should either be in the air or very lightly touching the spacebar key.
2.All you have to do to get your keyboard back to normal mode is press ctrl + shift keys together. Check to see if it's back to normal by pressing the quotation mark key (second key to the right of the L). If it's still acting up, press ctrl + shift again one more time. This should bring you back to normal.
