Keyboard doesn't stop repeating letters when I press on it (linux mint)

[Prosper]

Hello everybody! May God bless you abundantly.

I have a problem with my keyboard. Today, 4 hours ago, I was making maps with Qgis (in linux mint in dualboot) and suddently, the keyboard started to press touches itself with repetition. With difficulty, I could save my work and quit the software. But the problem remains. When I press some touchs like "backspace", it becomes to repeat other letters during a certain time, So that I cant use some letters properly. And this damaged the windows system as well. When I press the same letters, it turns my screen to landscape randomly in windows system. Seriously, I need your help.

Can you test it with a different keyboard?

I don't have another but I tried the virtual keyboard and it works fine

Sounds to me like your "Bounce Keys" option got turned on or the settings were changed
In Mint go to Preferences > System Settings > Accessibility > Typing > Bounce Keys and if on turn off
In Windows - Control Panel > Ease of Access > Change how your keyboard works > Turn on filter keys > Turn on bounce keys

It is not the case because it is turned off.

You are going to have to find another keyboard....to rule out the current one.

Can you borrow one ?

As soin as I get another keyboard, I will give you the result

When I use the touch "Enter" in the bios menu or GRUB, it works. But, it takes another fonction in the systems (Windows and Linux). I dont Know, if it's because the keyboard is dirty.
