Wierd Ubuntu Problem[Solved]

This is a rather weird problem but I can't seem to use the 's' letter in a terminal. For some reason, when I'm in a terminal and type the letter 's', a new terminal opens. S works fine everywhere, else, ie, right now. ssssss. See no terminal. But let me type it logging in on my VPN client or running a script, and a new terminal pops up. no s is typed either. Makes it hard to sudo stuff. I know 's' opens a new terminal, but I don't know why it is happening all out of the blue now.

No other keys are stuck down that I can tell. When I dual boot into windows, I have no problems with the key. Nothing has been changed in the system. It started out of the blue yesterday and I can't see to get it to stop. I don't want to register at the Ubuntu forums...


EDIT: Keyboard shortcuts for the terminal got changed so that s would open a new terminal window. Corruption issue? Anyway, fixed it. Lock it.
