Dang, sounds like you got some busted keys on your keyboard or something! That would drive me nuts too if it was always pulling up random stuff instead of letting me type.
A few things you could try:
- Check if there's any crumbs or grime stuck under the keys that are acting up. Try giving it a good blow or use compressed air to clean it out.
- Open up your keyboard and make sure none of the wires connecting the keys are loose or damaged. Might need to re-seat some of them.
- Search your keyboard model number online to check if it's a known issue. Sometimes a firmware update can fix weird glitches.
- As a temporary fix, you can try connecting an external USB keyboard just to see if the problem is definitely the built-in one.
- If cleaning/checking connections doesn't work, might be time for a new keyboard sadly. They don't last forever with heavy use.
Hope one of those helps solve the problem! Losing your mind not being able to type right would piss me off too. Let me know if it's still bugging after you try those.

Take your computer to Best Buy, geek squad or your cell phone or tablet they’ll show you what to do for free probably but if they can’t fix it then you’ll have to get a new keyboard or try to fix the cell phone that will be a charge

If on a PC search for keyboard shortcuts and turn off. If on a cellphone break it in half.
get a new key board 20 or so will fix it
Reinstall your drivers. That usually works.
