My tab key no longer works in Excel. I know it is a software issue because I tried a separate keyboard and the same thing - I have an iMac M1, running Ventura 13.4. My keyboards are Magic Keyboards with and without the number pad.

There are a lot of examples in the forums where users have had this problem without knowingly activating it (normally the symptom is space bar not working).
