Esc key not working for normal cancel/escape functions?
Using the keyboard viewer from the menu bar, I can see that the Esc is registering when pressed (i.e., this is not a hardware issue), but it is not performing the normal functions, such as:
- Canceling / exiting out of Spotlight
- Canceling a screenshot selection
- Escaping from having the cursor in address bar in Safari
Why is this and how can I fix this / restore typical expected escape behavior of the Esc key that I have on a different Macbook with macOS Big Sur.
Device: MacBook Pro (14-inch, 2021)
