Command/Control/Copy/Paste not working!

[oharag]

So I have a bluetooth/wireless Matias Keyboard connected to Mac mini M1. Sometimes I get connection issues, but this is not why I'm posting here. About 1 month (or more) I noticed that when I tried Command C or Command V copy or paste does not happen - in fact I get a strange character in place of the text I'm trying to copy - a weird C for copy and and a wired V for paste. Control F for Find doesn't work. Control Z - undo doesn't work. I also can not perform Shift-Cmd-3 or 4 for screen capture. I've seen same issues posted on Apple's Help Forums, but no one gave any good reason for this - nor does it offer a solution. Well there was one comment to perform a "fn" "0" and that should help. It actually worked - but the solution did not take - doing the same operation doesn't do anything. I've removed the keyboard and reconnected. Didn't help. Someone mention in Modifiers Keys to turn off the Option Key - that didn't work. If I fo to Keyboard Setup Assistant - it doesn't recognize the keyboard input. Was this an OS update that caused this issue. I've had this same keyboard for 3-4 years and never sa this issue. I'm on MacOS 12.6

Can anyone here please provide a solution?

I removed keyboard from Bluetooth - and removed from Wireless Keyboard setup. Turned BT on and off - added Matias - and modifier keys work now. WTH I did this before and it didn't work. It seems like everything is working now. I don't know why this helps with Modifier keys while the rest of the keyboard keys worked.

Seems like your keyboard needs to keep that software loaded to startup setup! Plus hope the company y will support the program at least a couple of years to be sure if you ever decided to do an update!

I had a smilier issue with my work computer and a logitech keyboard. The second time I added it to the computer, a box came up asking me to hit certain keys o the keyboard to help recognize it. My guess is that it got recognized incorrectly the first time (either automatically or I pressed a wrong key) and it was thinking that the control key was the command key or some other key.
