Spacebar not working within onenote
for some reason my spacebar does not work when I am typing in OneNote on my new MacBook Pro
5 Replies
My mac pro just completed a software update to macOS Sonama 14.1.2 since then the space bar in one note is not working on the one note app the online application is working. I cannot place a space between words when you push the space bar the cursor jumps to somewhere else on the page. I tried uninstalling it, looking at library and containers nothing seems to be working. Please help
- I figured out, in my case, that the full keyboard access within Settings/Accessibility/Keyboard was the culprit, Once I disabled it the issue disappeared.
THANK U!!!!! I have been searching for nearly an hour for this solution to get my spacing functionality back up-and-running when titling my OneNote Pages or separating any words in the title or body on any page.
This worked for me!!!!
Like you said... Go to Apple Macbook "Settings/Accessibility/Keyboard" and then disable or deselect the checkbox for "Full Keyboard Access" since it is enabled and messing with the spacing on OneNote.
I would have never figured this out without you and I really have put a lot of time into organizing my OneNote Notebook into Sections and lots of time has been spent on this. I didn't want to abandon OneNote for another Page/Note Organization app.....
This immediately fixed the issue and my cursor now stays in line with the text and properly inputs a "space" between separated words, on both Notebook pages and in the body of the OneNote Pages.
Before, it was moving the cursor down and not allowing a space in between words unless I input a space manually by pasting it COMMAND + V
I had to copy a space character from a previous spot once I ran into this issue, if I wanted to separate words on the Page Title or in the body of the Page text I would type. I didn't want to proceed with my Notebook if I have to "paste" a space rather than hit the space bar. I also didn't think my sections or memory was the issue. Glad I didn't give up!
I hope this quick solution under Macbook Accessibility Keyboard settings helps others with same issue.
