/ WORKS ONLY SOMETIMES 🤯 /

The solutions for my case:
#1
  1. Hold the key longer, more than 10 seconds, be patient.

#2
  1. Open and enable Accessibility > Keyboard > Accessibility keyboard
  2. Select any input area as Browser Address bar or Form
  3. Click whole 1-9 Number part through Accessibility keyboard + your Mouse/TouchPad (Do not use keyboard) and also write into the bar/form all the "special characters" as @#$...
  4. Then try Keyboard keys
  5. Disable and Close the Accessibility keyboard
  6. 🎉

Tap on the option key 5 times to switch from key controlled cursor to number pad - and vice versa.
