Try the following:
1 - Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac - Apple Support 2 - 3 times in succession.
2 - How to reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support
3 - boot into Safe Mode by booting with the Shift key held down and check there to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.
NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing the following;
• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)
• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
• Disables user-installed fonts
• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
Have you tried the keyboard on another Mac?
Is it a wireless keyboard? s
Does it happen in all apps?
