Ah, thank you!
At last that's the first believable explanation I've heard for how one might *accidentally* press a key combination which requires the use of both hands.
This has never bitten me because I always turn off any 'accessibility' features on the first occasion they enable themselves, given that they basically make the keyboard unusable.

It doesn't require the use of both hands on all keyboards, anyway. (Most
common ones, sure.)

Actually, I've done this myself more times than I'd care to admit. I use alt-backspace all the time in bash (is there another word-kill key?), and on my laptop the alt and ctrl keys are adjacent, so it's very easy to accidentally hold them both down. :(

CTRL-W is how I've always done it... CTRL-U to take out the whole line, CTRL-W to wipe just the previous word...
