magic keyboard

Keys o, I, j, k, l, m, and 9 not working on iMac (24-inch, M1, 2021). Only keyboard that does work is an older magic keyboard with numbers key.

This has happened since Mac was brand new.

iMac 24″, macOS 12.3

Yeah, I'd read to do that and nothing changes. Right now I have both the numbers keyboard and the small magic keyboard connected -- hit the options key five times on both and now difference.

A surprising number of people have encountered this problem. I think the most recent MacOS versions may have the 5 option press trigger for activating Mouse Keys on by default (which makes no sense). Many users never do that, so they don't notice, while some wind up doing it and then have 789uiojkl inactive. If you do a google search on that string you will find quite a few hits going back a a few years.
