A similar thing happened to me. My keyboard would just press "2" all the time. I just quit Karabiner-Elements, and started it again and it seemed to be fine afterwards.

Same game here. It's command on my end and i keep mutliselecting things oder open links in a new tab.. Took a while to figure out what was going on 😄
Restarting Karabiner helps, as @misbahkhan suggested

[wujunchuan]

@iKasch in this case ,if you use EventViewer to see the keyboard and pointing events.you will find that left MouseDown/MouseUp with Shift flags..I have saw it before like this

[andialles]

Same for me, sometimes when I wake up my mac, the shift key is constantly pressed, until I quit karabiner elements, and press the shift key once.
