After the update my Capital “P” stopped appearing as I type in my Obsidian Desktop. (lower case “p” shows fine.
Then, I found the same thing happens in my Mobile app
I changed fonts, theme, dark/light mode and nothing changed
-All other keys work in Caps and lower case.
I have no css snippets
My keyboard is working normally in all other apps - Including here “P”
I can copy text with the Cap “P” from another source and it shows in my Obsidian note
Just discovered it types normally in another vault.
Expected result
I can type “P” normally in both Desktop and Mobile
Actual result
Nothing shows when I type upper case “P”

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Custom theme and snippets: for cosmetic issues, please first try updating your theme and disabling your snippets. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the Sandbox Vault or disable community theme and snippets.
Community plugins: for bugs, please first try updating all your plugins to latest. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the Sandbox Vault or disable community plugins.
Disable all community plugins and restart Obsidian,
does this still happen?
Also your installer version is slightly out of date, best to download a new version from the website and install it(no need to uninstall the current version)
Thanks
Disabled all Community Plugins - same result
Updated Installer - same result
The Upper Case “P” works in other vaults.

The nuclear option is moving your .obsidian folder out of your vault and starting fresh, but as you mentioned above, you’ll have to re-do all your settings including installing plugins/snippets/themes and setting them up again.
In the Finder on your mac, the .obsidian folder for your troublesome vault should look something like this →
make a copy of all these files and folders before doing anything
I would close Obsidian, move one of these .json files out of .obsidian at a time, restart, and see if you can use “P” again. If you can’t use “P”, quit Obsidian, and replace the original .json. Move on to the next one. Skip the plugins, snippets, and themes folders for now.
All of these files do have settings, so if you do manage to get “P” working again you’ll have to re-do whatever settings the file had in it.
