Macbook Air Doubletyping Entire ntire Words/Bits of Words

Hi ali all! I am intentionally not going to fix any of those typing errors but I will bold them so you can see my exact issue. This isn't that old "mac double types keys" issue; instead, entire sections of words are being double-typed as I type, and will just insert themselves into words wherever I go. Someometimes it's worse than others or happens more frequently, but it has been going on for about a week now and I'm 'm losing my mind. I've done basic things like software updates, restarting, messing with keyboard settings, etc. It's almost like my Mac is autocompleting at a delay. If therf there's anything I can do to fix this without going in person, I'd be so happy.

Hello maio123maio,

Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities. I understand that some letters are typing unexpectedly on your MacBook Air. I also see that restarting, updating, and reviewing your keyboard settings hasn’t resolved the issue, and I have a few more steps in mind that may help.

First, I suggest resetting the NVRAM:

Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac

Next, try booting into safe mode or into a new user account to see if the issue persists:

From there, consider whether there has been physical damage to the device. Additionally, check to see if cleaning the keyboard helps:

I hope this information is useful. Kind regards.
