You could try a can of compressed air used for computers. Perhaps some dust or a crumb has got under the key. Follow the directions on the can.
If that doesn't work take your MacBook into an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider as it may need more service than a simple can of air.
Edit: Before you do that restart your Mac. Sometimes that will clear any glitches that may arise.
Thanks. That was my first thought. Bought the Fellowes Invertible Air Duster and tried that a couple of times but to little or no effect. I’ve tried restarting the Mac and it’s only just had an OS upgrade. I’ll contact Apple Support and as you say, it’ll probably have to go to an Apple Store to be looked at.
