Narrative:
Aircraft X (WW24); I descended to 15;000 feet and gave the aircraft direct keatn intersection on an aircraft landing at cgf. I was called by mfd sector in cleveland and asked where he was going because the flight plan showed landing keatn. I was surprised and alerted my supervisor to turn it in and couldn't imagine that I would have put keatn with a down arrow. She turned in the strip and today we found out that I did the following function (R30 - qu keatn 'down arrow' cid of XXX). I was in complete shock to learn that my brain on a slow sector could land an aircraft at an intersection.I have to be more diligent and realize that with idle periods that our thinking pattern can completely disconnect and with human error put in information that is alarming.
