most likely I'm asking question in a wrong place but its super urgent and I cant find a category of visual studio.
when I updated visual studio it started to double every letter I try to write. also doubles "Backspace" but not "Delete", noticed right and left arrows also double but not up and down. on-screen keyboard behaves exactly the same. everywhere else keyboard works as it should, right now I'm typing without a problem... please help.
in a visual studio only coding area doubles keys. for example "Search Toolbox" and "Search (Ctrl+Q)" does not.

2021-07-02T08:27:17.76+00:00 Hi @Tarash Sajaia ,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
It seems that the issue has been reported in Developer Community:
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Visual-Studio-16103-Editor-double-typi/1464938?space=8&q=updated+visual+studio+to+16.10.3+and++double+every+letterPlease try to run your VS in safe mode: open CMD and go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\version name\Common7\IDE folder, run the command: devenv /safemode to run your vs without any extensions, check if the installed extensions affect or not.
Meanwhile, you can try to repair your VS in Visual Studio Installer > More > Repair.

gao jacky 0 Reputation points2023-07-12T05:10:46.72+00:00 I encountered the same issue today, and I discovered that it was caused by this line in my page:<link rel="stylesheet" hef="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/6.0.0-beta2/css/all.min.css" /> . The double occurrence of each letter disappeared after I removed the line.
