I've just changed the battery on my macbook pro 2017 and the spacebar is misbehaving. It's either not responding unless I press it hard or it's placing two spaces at a time. Is there a way to change the mapping of one of the other keys on the keyboard to function as the spacebar?
For context I live in a location where I have absolutely no access to Apple stores or technician support so I have to sort this myself.
I suspect you would be better off buying an external keyboard. 2017 anf the butterfly keyboard have know issue— and not worth sending in for a replacement keyboard (ie top case.)
