There are 2 independent features:

(1) If you press the left shift key 5 times in a row, you will get a small
u-shaped icon in the menu bar.  Now, whenever you press a modifier key
(shift, option, etc.) the key will stick down until you hit a non-modifier
key.  If you hit a modifier twice in a row, it will stick down until you hit
the modifier a 3rd time

You can turn this off by hitting shift 5 times in a row, or by hitting 2
keys at once.

(2) If you hit command-shift-clear (on the keypad), then you can use the
keypad keys to move the mouse pointer.  The 5 on the keypad is the mouse
button; the surrounding keys move the pointer in the appropriate direction;
0 locks the mouse button down; and period releases it.

Hitting command-shift-clear turns this off.
