I am using an application that requires me to frequently type in mixed-case strings starting with multiple uppercase characters, and the easiest way to do this is to hold shift and type them. However, whenever I hold the shift key for too long, Dashboard pops up and does not allow me to type anything more until I get rid of it. I looked in system settings, but I couldn't find that option. Is this possible and how can I do it?

Sounds like an accessibilty option 'Sticky Keys'.

And, for those who find it difficult to use a mouse, every Mac computer includes Mouse Keys, Slow Keys, and Sticky Keys, which adapt the computer to the user’s needs and capabilities. http://www.apple.com/accessibility/

Look for Universal Access in the system preferences and then Sticky Keys. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Access
