Keyboard suddenly misbehaves

more options

Keyboard has suddenly become irrational during typing. Cursor randomly relocates or clicks. MacBook, fairly new and all up to date.

Running MacBook in safe mode, have disabled all third party apps, have deleted permission for all apps to run in background. Doesn't help.

that you accidentally touch the touch area where this movements come from so that you perceive them?

What Os do you have at the moment? And what MacBook do you use.?

Hello there again.

Try to


Uncheck 'tap to click' in Preferences>Trackpad. That mouse cursor ghosting has to be gone.

Did your ctrl- shift push buttons trick does the job? Try it out.

is that weird typing of your keyboard still present? can you explain what exactly that keyboard is doing? besides keyboard ghosting?
