Re: Shortcut commands stopping working in NVDA
It’s not sticking keys. It happens on my keyboard as well, and on my laptop keys as well. I already submitted a lot of logs on a github page, I think in regard to this. Narrator will even stick as well. The only way is to reboot, or do the left shift right shift, control, etc.

I say the following not to be snarky, but if it is actually sticking keys, we already know why this happens.
Another good thing, and dirt cheap, is to obtain a USB keyboard (and thrift stores are loaded with them, fully functional) to keep "as the testing spare" and check if the issue persists, when it occurs, on a different keyboard that's available for the machine.
If the shortcuts work immediately when you use the alternative keyboard, and consistently, you know you have a hardware issue of some sort with your primary keyboard. While these are, relatively speaking, rare they are far from never happening.
