Pressing T+R+O keys at the same time triggers an F7 key press
I was trying to launch an electron project and noticed that in CMD, a dialog box kept appearing while I was typing electron, the weird thing is, it only happened when I typed that word.
After further investigation, I noticed it was the combination of the T, R and O key, when pressed while not releasing the previous keys in that order, the system would trigger an F7 call (as though F7 were pressed). And now that I know about the issue, it seems to creep up everywhere, like in FireFox, when I type stroke, trousers or trombone. I get dialogs asking whether I want to activate "Carat Browsing". How do I stop this behaviour?
I have a very new Dell Inspiron 7570 running Win 10 1803. And I doubt this is caused by malware too. If anyone has any info, please help, it's getting on my nerve.
Thanks

You might test with an external keyboard. This is not common behavior, and if your PC is quite new, you might exchange it for another.

Hmm, yeah, my keyboard does double press a key occasionally
