keyboard not responding on Macbook Air High Sierra

I was trying to turn off the clicks and somehow disabled my keyboard. The trackpad works, but although the keys making clicking noises, no letters appear. Is there a way to fix this?

MacBook Air 11″, macOS 10.13

Built-in Keyboard and Trackpad Not Working I have a 2017 MacBook Pro running the latest version of MacOS. Earlier today my trackpad and keyboard suddenly stopped working. Resetting the PRAM/SMC has not helped. Only an external mouse and keyboard works now. What do I do?

Keyboard on Macbook pro , early 2015 with MacOS Monterey 12.0.1 Since tonight suddenly my keyboard acts strange. Looks like something is activated after pressing a wrong button. For example I cannot type letters or numbers, and when pressing a key (letters / numbers) the screen flashes. When closing the lid of the macbook and opening it all works normal. I've allready cleaned the keyboard properly but cannot find the key or thing that locks the keyboard. Is it the trackpad that hangs or causes troubles? Also when i want to navigate to system preferences nothing happens when i want to move back after In word I cannot navigate too menu bar, when i click with the mouse than nothing happens..... Diagnostic control doesn't tell me more... Who knows?

Reset the SMC , shut down your device. Then press the Shift, Control, and Option keys and the Power button at the same time. Hold them for 10 seconds, then turn on.
