Can't type...

I almost literally can't type...when I try to type in the chat boxes it will activate whatever command is bound to the letters I type.
It has gone away for now but it has popped up twice for me so far.

Can't have a honest conversation because of a white knight with power

Depending on which commands they are activating, it could be a CTRL, Shift or Alt key that is a bit sticky on your keyboard. I'd first try tapping each of those keys a few times to ensure they are not stuck.
If that has not resolved your problem, try resetting your key binds.
Post back how you get on.
Can you provide more information about what keys are firing which commands please?
Like any key that has a binding linked to it...like for example even when typing in the chat box if I use m it will open or close the map or the L key opens the log. It still types the letter in chat but also activates the command bound to it.
Can you try hitting your hash key "#", this usually takes you to the chat box - lets see if that will work for you.
Can you also try resetting your HUD, just in case it is a problem related to something overlaying over the chat.
Do you want to try the forward slash key "/"?
Doesn't seem to be doing anything
This makes it almost impossible to move and chat at the same time.
I will NOT throw away 5 years of keybinds for your obvious bug.
Please create a sticky for this issue.
Thanks for the help...like I said it comes and goes...sometimes I get lucky and it doesn't happen.
Feels like chat in box cant keep it self focused and interface just catches keystrokes as they would be normal key bind commands
It's hasn't been a keybind issue for me, it's been an ALT-Tab issue. I don't have any issues with anything, unless I ALT-Tab out of game then come back in. If I do tab out, I have no keyboard and no mouse function. All I can do is CTRL-ALT-DEL and close STO that way and restart it.
Otherwise, I can run the game all day and night without any issues.
This. Got the same problem. Usually I alt+tab the game after pointing the ship towards a distant sector space destination and check forums and such. After that I cant type in chat at all. If I go into bridge on a cell ship, the keys are "binded" with 2 functions... sort-of-speak. Like if I try to type in exchange the "m" key, the map opens aswell. Same for the w,a,s,d keys... char moves aswell. Then if I pug/join a ground queue, the 1,2,3... keys dont work either and cant shoot
Only game restart works to fix this. Its quite an annoying bug.
Only way I found to get rid is to close game and restart the launcher again.
As a side note, this has only happened on the ground maps for me ... so far!!
Tried resetting keybinds to default and the same thing happened ... thankfully I saved my custom keybinds.
This seems to have come over from the Tribble server where it hasn't worked since the start of sector space revamp
To fix it I need to change instances or go to the change character screen then log back in.
That usually fixes it.
I know it isn't my keyboard.
