Keyboard stops working in Safari

MacBook Pro, Mojave 10.14.5

Typing will not work after a few minutes within Safari. When I hook up my external USB keyboard, it doesn’t work either. I’ve disabled ALL Safari extensions—that did not make a difference. I even had my whole keyboard replaced! Driving me nuts.

Good morning vermp!


I see that you're having some trouble with the keyboard working in Safari. I'll be happy to help out.


You may want to consider clearing the history and cache in Safari to see if this helps with the issue: Clear your browsing history in Safari on Mac - Apple Support Also try restarting the MacBook.


If you're still having trouble, try seeing if this same problem occurs in safe mode. Be aware that internet access is limited in safe mode, but sometimes just starting in this mode and then restarting normally can resolve issues like this: Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac - Apple Support

Keep us updated! Cheers.
