Hi! I recently switched from Windows to a MacBook Air, so I’m still getting used to macOS.
I’m having an issue when I’m trying to scroll using the up and down arrow keys. The arrow keys work normally, but they won’t scroll the page unless I first click somewhere on the page.
For example, I’ll be reading a webpage and want to scroll down using the ↓ arrow key. In order to use the arrow key, I'll have to click somewhere on the page, and then the arrow key works and scrolls normally. However, after about 10 seconds, the arrow key stops scrolling the page again and I need to click the page for it to scroll normally again.
So, I constantly have to: click the page → use arrow keys to scroll → arrow keys stop scrolling → click the page again → repeat.
This is happening constantly and is really inconvenient, especially when I’m trying to work because I have to keep reaching for the trackpad just to click the page again.
Is there a setting I need to change, or is there a way to fix this? I’m not sure if this is a macOS feature/setting I’m unfamiliar with or an actual issue.
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!
