MacBook Pro keyboard freezes

My keyboard intermittently freezes, not at the same time with all programs, but all programs (InDesign, Safari, Word, et.al) experience the problem. I tried resetting NVRAM, tried safe mode, and ran diagnostics. Nothing works. Help, please!

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.4

How about resetting the SMS? Follow the procedure below, and again, even if you have already tried some of the steps:

Reset SMC by following the directions applicable to your MacBook here ➔ How to Reset SMC. If that does not solve things then-
Reset NVRAM/PRAM by following the directions applicable to your MacBook here ➔ How to Reset NVRAM/PRAM. If that does not solve things then-
Enter ➔ Safe Mode and see if the screen issue still exists in Safe mode. Log out of Safe Mode and then reboot computer. If that does not solve things then-
Finally if none of the above works then you can enter ➔ macOS Recovery Mode and reinstall the macOS and see if that solves it.
