Entering Cheats Via Keyboard Not Working

I use Retropie and my controller is a USB SNES controller & my keyboard is just a USB keyboard.

I am having issues entering my own cheats via a USB keyboard in the cheats menu of Retroarch. I used to be able to do it up to version 1.60 & below, and I remember seeing that there was a bug issue that caused it to stop that ended up getting fixed later in 1.63 I think.

I liked entering it via the retroarch cheats menu of whatever game I played that didn’t have a working cheat I wanted to use.

I am currently using 1.69 & I still can’t enter my own cheats via USB keyboard.

Is there a setting I need to set or something so I can enter my own cheats again?

I keep hoping each new retroarch release will have it fixed for me, but so far not yet.

And I have reinstalled the software and everything is the latest version.

Thanks for any help.

No one can help?

What am I doing wrong?

Does it work for other people?
