Macbook Shortcut issue.

Every time I try to press Control+ V, I get "p" in response. Paste command is not working. None of the data gets pasted. I only get 'P' in response instead of the copied text.

Can anyone help me out here. Need to know how to fix it.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.5

Why did my keyboard shortcuts for cut and paste stop working? Running Yosemite 10.10.5 on an older iMac (2013). Other than not being able to upgrade Google anymore, I have not had any problems. Just in the past day or so my keyboard shortcuts stopped working. Specifically cut and paste, which I use all the time. If I hit Command X or V, I just get the letter x or v. Any ideas what happened?
