Hey Guys,

I have replaced my MacBook keyboard twice and I continue to have the same issue. When I press the ] n } key it just turns on Caps Lock. I really need these keys to code.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks

Does this happen with both external keyboards and the built-in keyboard, or just one or the other? – Stephen Jennings Oct 27 at 0:28

The problem I find with a MacBook keyboard is that I can hit the caps lock key when I'm typing fast or carelessly (usually instead of the A key, sometimes instead of the left shift key). Could your trouble be that with the '}' key, you hit the caps lock instead of the shift key just below it? That doesn't explain the problem with the ']' key.

What is your language and keyboard settings set to? Have you accidentally done something with the keyboard shortcuts from 'System Preferences' / 'Keyboard and Mouse'?

No I haven't done anything like that. I just replaced the keyboard twice. Ont he external keyboard it works fine.
