I changed some settings in my MacBook Pro (mistake) and now when I’m typing & use space bar, it highlights other functions. How do I change it back?

spacebar and extra spaces I have a MacBook Pro. I am running the Mojave 10.14.6 OS. Lately, when I am typing, the spacebar will add extra spaces. I have changed settings under System preferences but that hasn't helped. It is driving me crazy. I end up having to fix my documents which take so much time. It has started only recently and I'm wondering if it has to do with a recent update?

Space bar not working I just updated to Mac OS Monterey and every time I want to use the space bar it select something instead of adding a space. Is there anyway I can turn off that blue selection box? and how could I fixed that problem. Because sometimes I have to press shift + space bar to add a space.

Delete button and spacebar query. I am struggling with the MacBook keyboard Good day, I am struggling with the Macbook Air keyboard ⌨ I literally don't understand why there is no delete button and I end up duplicating files when using shortcuts. The spacebar, instead giving me space when typing, it will create blue lines at the edge of the window or textbar when I am typing and how do I change this

Go to Accessibility preferences and make sure that Full Keyboard Access is OFF.
