Exclamation and at sign not working on my Ventura Macbook pro X1

Hi all


Very strange that when I typed combination of SHIFT + 1 or 2, exclamation sign and at sign don't work.


I checked on Keyboard setting and found nothing obvious

Latest update:


  • In safe mode and new user test, Shift + 1 and / shift + 2 worked
  • Finally, I had to delete all files under ~/Library/preferences


This new Mac had data transferred from my old mac, so it could be related perhaps.


After deleting those files in the above folder, now it works again.
