MacBook Clicking and Typing Issues

I am experiencing two major issues with my MacBook that are severely affecting my ability to work efficiently. Below are the details of the problems:


1. Clicking Issue: https://youtu.be/CWEhDjJFQho

Whenever I click on any link or section of a page in both Chrome and Safari, it automatically downloads an HTML file. This happens on every webpage, making it very difficult to browse and work normally.


2. Typing Issue: https://youtu.be/Hvll61szO9s

Despite having the input source set to US English, the typing output is incorrect. For example, when I type certain characters or symbols, the output is different from what I expect. I have checked and confirmed that the US English input source is selected, but the issue persists.


  • Steps I Have Taken: To resolve these issues, I have already taken the following steps:
  • Reinstalled macOS: I have reinstalled macOS completely.
  • Reset Browser Settings: I reset all settings in both Chrome and Safari.
  • Checked Keyboard Input Source: I verified that the US-English input source was correctly selected and removed any other input sources.
  • NVRAM/PRAM Reset: I performed an NVRAM/PRAM reset, but the problem remains unresolved.
  • IApple Diagnostics: I already tested Apple Diagnostics No Issues ADP000.


Request for Assistance:

I would appreciate your help in resolving these issues, as they are significantly impacting my daily work.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.0

This also indicates that the machine thinks the option key is being held down. Try an external keyboard.
