If you have your Keyboard Viewer turned on so you can see the effect of using
the keys as you type them, you may be able to tell if the keyboard is defective.
A spare keyboard and mouse are among important extras to have on hand.
Especially if you happen to live in a location where replacements don't exist.
Is there something stuck under one of the keys, and stopping their function?
You may be able to remove a key-cap to clean the area; and hope it works.
Not sure what kind of 'reset' may help a keyboard see only a few keys that do
not appear to be functioning; however you may be able to determine if that
keyboard is defective or not, in a matter of trial & error by trying the Keyboard
Viewer. If you do not have it set up on the menu bar for easy access, you can
set it up by going to System Preferences > International > Input Menu, and be
sure your preferences are selected; and choose to have Input menu appear
on the top right side of the desktop by the clock.
There is a way to use a Win/PC keyboard in place of a Mac keyboard, but there
are some keys that are incorrect or in the wrong places; so remapping them is
one of the ways to still use a Mac if you happen to be without an Apple keyboard.
(Some Mac users running Windows via BootCamp have both keyboards.)
Anyway, I'm not sure if some system problem may be the cause of the keyboard
not working correctly; or if the keyboard has some defective keys acting up. Some
of the system resets probably will have no effect on the keyboard input to a Mac.
Resetting PRAM/NVRAM? Reset PMU/SMC, etc? SafeBoot & repair permissions?
These are unlikely; out of desperation, something may scare the gremlins out of it.
But nothing will reset wear and age if the computer's keyboard is wearing out.
Perhaps someone else will have ideas to get around this issue; short of an attempt
to set different keys on the keyboard to perform the missing functions of others..
In lieu of a known-good USB keyboard to try instead of the one you have now.
Good luck & happy computing! ?

Using Spotify on a Chromebook is easy thanks to the official, slick, and feature-packed Web Player. While it’s not as grand sounding as a native desktop app, the Spotify web player can be set to run in its own window to lend it the illusion of “app-iness”.

But maybe you want a bit more than the illusion of integration? Maybe you want to control playback using some keyboard hotkeys, even when Spotify itself is minimised in the background.
Well, you’re in luck.
Spotify Web Player Hotkey Extension
Spotify Web Player Hotkey is a nifty Chrome extension that lets you set up regular keyboard shortcuts to pause, play next and previous tracks in Spotify’s online app.
It defaults to the following key combos, all set to work when Chrome is in focus (i.e., you’re in a different tab):
- Alt + Shift + P — Play/Pause
- Alt + Shift + Period — Next Track
- Alt + Shift + Comma — Previous Track
Spotify Keyboard Shortcuts
These may not be quite to your tastes (or finger flexing abilities). The extension allows you to change them to a preferred combination of keys (so long as they don’t conflict with existing system functions, e.g., Ctrl + C).
Spotify Keyboard Shortcuts Windows
To do this head to Extensions > Keyboard Shortcuts > Spotify Web Player Hotkeys and click in the box, press some keys and away you go.
If you’d like the keyboard shortcuts to work globally — meaning you can control playback while working in Microsoft Word or browsing photos in Pixsta, you can. But, again, pay attention to conflicts.
The extension is a free add-on and works exclusively with the Spotify Web Player available at play.spotify.com.
