MacBook Pro, Catalina most recent; keys used to work, now the command and option keys do not work (they depress fine, but show nothing, also the online keyboard options in system or preferences shows every key but not these. sure feels like a software issue
iMac Pro
The "Old" keyboard viewer in Mojave and earlier darkened those keys when pressed.
The "new" keyboard viewer has been merged with accessibility keyboard. In that keyboard, those keys become outlined in red when pressed, which is much more subtle and easy to miss.
Which are you using, and do you have a real operation problem, or you just see a different operation?

If you hold down the option key and type asdfg and you get åß∂ƒ©, then the keyboard is working as it is supposed to.
When type Option A, what is produced in your text?
What do you have on your list in system preferences > keyboard > input sources?
option a displays an a w double dot on top- maybe german looking. then input sources is US- show typical keyboard but no option or command or anything... just letters numbers and normal characters
MacBook Pro - keyboard seems ok BUT command key, option keys do nothing....they move physically. Don't show on the keyboard in system
