Hi Lemsip2020,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. I understand the space bar and the delete key on a keyboard for your MacBook Air is unresponsive.


Having a fully functional device is important and I'd like to help.


Excellent job by resetting the PRAM on the Mac. To help troubleshoot this issue further, I recommend to restart your Mac in safe mode and see if the space bar and the delete key is responsive: How to use safe mode on your Mac Once your Mac is in safe mode, please restart your Mac as normal and log into your user account. From there, see if the keyboard is responsive without any issues.


Please let me know if that helps.


Kind regards.
