ESC key stopped working
My MacBook Pro's 'Escape' key stopped working, and if I use Modifier keys and use other keys as Esc it still doesn't work. Any suggestions please? The MacBook Pro is just 5 month old.

Hello pradnya92,
Thanks for reaching out through the Apple Support Communities about that difficulty with the escape key.
Does that behavior continue if you test your MacBook Pro with an external keyboard?
How about if you create a new user account, and test under that account? Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac
Does that persist if you boot your Mac into safe mode per the steps in this article? How to use safe mode on your Mac
It can take a few extra minutes to boot into safe mode. Your screen may flash or flicker while in safe mode. Those behaviors are expected. Testing in safe mode can help identify conflicts with start up items.
Hopefully those details will help to isolate this behavior further.
Take care.
