My macbook air-the new 2018 version, keeps putting in periods and double/triple spaces. I have to constantly go back and edit everything. Driving me nuts. Is there a way to fix this? I've gotten to the point where I hardly use it anymore. Too frustrating. Note, I'm on an old imac right now, like it much better, but not portable! Any help or suggestions is much appreciated. Thank you.
Hello, joanmort.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that you're having issues with spacing and incorrect character input on the keyboard of your MacBook Air. I'm happy to provide you with a few steps to try.
First, power off your MacBook, then rest the SMC: How to reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support
If any of your keys feel stuck, or different than the others: How to clean the keyboard of your MacBook or MacBook Pro - Apple Support
You can test in a new user, to see if the issue is software related: How to test an issue in another user account on your Mac - Apple Support
Let us know what happens! Take care.
Thank you so much! It was driving me bonkers-I'd be seeing patients, and have to constantly be fixing the errors. It works now I hope! I will find out soon.
Much appreciated, you brought some of my sanity back!
