my keyboard is typing backwards

What type of computer or device? It sounds as if you've invoked a different language such as Arabic or Hebrew that is written right to left. If you ignore the direction and type the letters of your password as normal it will probably be accepted, assuming the correct characters are issued by the keyboard in the mode that you've found.

Q:Number keys malfunctioning

Hello,

I have a problem with the numbers keys. the majority of the number keys do not respond immediately when i type them. I have to press hard and insist several times to have a number displayed on the screen.

The all the other keys on the keyboard seems to work fine, and the keyboard preferences are the default ones.

Thanks for any help !

This becomes really annoying....

MacBook Air, macOS Sierra (10.12)

Hi hcharest,

Please reply with your System Preferences > Language & Region

Regards,

Ian.

Would really appreciate some help for this issue. It is becoming an urgent problem.!

Thanks

Hi. Folks can be more helpful if you identify your device and OS version. Apple systems usually let you select a language in the Keyboard settings. Region is also a good place to look.

It's NOT a language issue in any way, shape of form.
