Hi there SPandME,
If one key is not responding on your MacBook Air, these steps from If your Mac doesn’t respond to key presses may resolve what's happening:
If other keys don’t work
You may have accidentally set an option that changes how your keyboard operates.
• Choose Apple menu> System Preferences, click Accessibility
, click Keyboard, then click Hardware. Make sure Slow Keys is turned off. If Slow Keys is on, you must press and hold a key longer than usual before it’s recognized.
• Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, click Pointer Control, then click Alternate Control Methods. Make sure Mouse Keys is off.
• Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Keyboard, then click Input Sources. Select “Show Input menu in menu bar.” Open the Input menu, then make sure the correct keyboard layout is selected.
If this continues after checking those preferences, clean the keyboard of your Mac using these recommendations: How to clean the keyboard of your MacBook or MacBook Pro
