My left Command Key on my MacBook Air stopped working.

I'm sharing in case anyone else ran into this problem.

The standard answers here didn't work.

I found the fix to my own problem after 2 days.


My left Command Key on my MacBook Air stopped working.


It was acting like Application Expose' every time I hit the left Command key.


Under Desktop & Dock, the Window has a 'SHORTCUTS' button at the lower right, I clicked that.


It opens another window, and under "Application Windows" - I had accidentally changed the selection to "LEFT COMMAND".

I fixed it by changing that to "-" then clicked "DONE".

My Left Command button started working correctly immediately thereafter!

MacBook Pro (2017 – 2020)
