mac book pro 16 problem typing


While typing on my MacBook Pro 16, is typing the rest of my sentence or phrase on another part of the page two or three lines above or below.


Is there a fix for this? It is quite annoying.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.7

Does your MacBook Pro have a touch bar? If so, it may be sensing your fingers as you type, near to the touchbar, and that can result in unexpected sudden unintended "commands" such as you describe (jumping up or down several lines). You can either be more attentive to keeping your fingers away from the touch bar (they don't have to actually touch it to activate something; personally I find it hard to be more attentive in this way) or you can configure the touch bar so that it is mostly or totally deactivated for the softwares where the problem seems to surface more.
