Mac-book Keyboard repeated letters

Hi, anyone knows why my Mac-book air keyboard is repeating letters when I press a key? for example, I press the "i" and I get "ii".

thanks!

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.15

Try cleaning the keyboard by following this Apple article (make sure to keep the can of compressed air completely upright or you could severely damage the laptop):

Check your Keyboard settings in System Preferences (especially the key repeat settings).
