<p>What is this doing and how do I stop it and is it creating something I need to delete or worry about? And what do I do to delete it if so?

Don't worry, all you did is increase verbosity. The `Shift` had no effect, but the `+` increased it. Press `-` to cycle back to a lower verbosity level.

Press `?` to see a list of all available commands.

If you want to not worry about accidental keypresses, you can add `-nostdin` to the command. Don't do this if one of your inputs is a pipe.
