I have the caps lock key mapped to the ctrl key so when I type ALL caps I have to hold down the shift key. When I try to insert a space between words I have to release the shift key, otherwise the space is ignored. This used to work but since I reinstalled this system the keyboard is acting strangely. This behavior plus certain other letters seem to want to generate a cedilla or an accent grave or accent acute or an umlaut. There are a few other characters that behave similarly. Coincidentally I started getting messages about python forcing "PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE=0". Maybe this is not related to this problem, I can't tell. Could this be a LOCALE issue?
I think SHIFT-space used to be the shortcut to change keyboard layouts. If that's the case on your system, that would also explain the unexpected characters. Check your keyboard layout settings and see if there is more than one layout configured and also see if you can find out what the layout switching shortcut is.
