Keyboard typing in random characters Hello! I have an older MacBook and haven’t had issues up until lately. First one at a time several keys stopped working. I got an external keyboard and everything was fine. Now all of my keys on my actual MacBook seem to type in foreign characters even though the language preferences are all clearly set to English. My keys will randomly get stuck and type out random characters and it seems to be now affecting my photoshop as well since none of took bar is working as usual. I have a feeling it’s due to the stuck keys. Needless to say it’s been a headache. Is there anyway to fix something like this or disable my MacBook keyboard altogether? Thanks in advance.

Magic keyboard suddenly typing the wrong characters When I type a question mark I get _ and when I try to use an apostrophe I get [. And more. I have not changed my set up and in fact went in to make sure no evil elves did so...even did a factory reset to no avail. This has happened before and simply restarting all has fixed it, but not this time. Any help much appreciated!

When that happens it sometimes means you have accidentally switched keyboard layouts. Go to system preferences > keyboard > input sources and make sure that your have ONLY ONE ITEM on that list.
