Hi all. I have a problem with my mac’s internal keyboard that i’v noticed only today.
When i press a key to write something,it says something like; this item cannot be found.
I believe that i did something in the settings.
Help me please

You're not giving us much to go on, but it sounds like you've enabled single key quick nav. Try toggling it with Control+Option+Q.

Another thing to check. Sometimes modifier keys get stuck in the down position. Press each one, control, option, command, Fn, etc., to make sure they're released.

I'm really just guessing though. Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

I’m sorry for the bad explanation i’m really bad at it,but thanks for the help.
I’ll try these commands and inform you about the results

Another thing to try is pressing the left and right arrow keys simultaneously. This toggles QuickNAV, not to be confused with Single Key QuickNAV, but could also be why you're having issues with typing.

Just a suggestion. 😃

Have you tried restarting your computer? If you can't restart using your keyboard, you can use the power button on your computer chassis.

Thanks for the suggestions,but none of them worked unfortunately.
I can give more explanations this time though.
When i press j key for example it says that form elements couldn’t been found.
Every key that i press says something like that.
I hope this time i explained better🙂

I’v enabled the single key nav apparently.
I disabled it from the menu and i can write again.
Thanks every one
