Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by investigating the Quick Accent entry point and the conditions that could intermittently leave SHIFT locked on Windows 11. Reproduction is not currently reliable, so compare behavior with Quick Accent disabled and verify that the fix prevents intermittent SHIFT locking without affecting accent input.
