Some gaming keyboards can cause issues with many games. Check your keyboard's driver if it has one or force it to default to the system/OS setting.

Also, some periphreals can cause issues as well, so disable controllers or other I/O devices that may have inputs/controls. (Rare, but does happen for some games.)

There is no reason a standard keyboard, alone, should do what you describe unless the OS/Driver does something funky or you've remapped those keys in the game's option menu. You could try resetting the game's keymapping feature to default, just in case.

Caps lock doesn't disable shortcuts, it just enables DIFFERENT shortcuts... I kept pressing u to bring up my unit screen and it kept opening the burrows list. Learned the hard way.

Thank you guys. It fixes itself sometimes when I Alt+Tab. But next time i will check for CapsLock

In that case it may have thought that you were holding down the alt key. That happens in many games, unfortunately, because the game loses focus and therefore never sees you let go of alt.
