The port from my monitor to my MacMini work intermittently. I just move the cable from one port to the other and that solves it until the next time but what can I do?

Fixing Port Issues:
(Applies to Intel-Only Macs): Sometimes changes(i.e. formats) are made to the system and then settings (i.e. for Keyboard) become manipulated, technically. So, reset both on your Mac. Perhaps the keyboard's settings for it keys are mingled. It might take upto three tries to reset both. So, be certain you have the time to do so.
Boot in to Safe Mode:
In Safe Mode, login items do not run, and corrupt system files(i.e. caches) are intentionally reset as a way to fix issues. So, boot into it, seeing if you then use this. For instructions, go here: How to Use Safe Mode on your Mac - Apple Support
Perform the Following:
- Boot: in to Safe Mode: [Hold Down: the shift key upon boot].
- Log in: as same user
- Wait: 30 seconds
- Restart; your Mac
- Log in: as same user
See if this now works
