Can't type anything in inspector

Question

I can't type or select any text field in the inspector. q w e r t y keys select selection type (move, rotate, etc) instead of typing.

Probably a dumb question but I have googled and searched extensively and can't find a whiff of a solution.

I assume I have entered some kind of special hotkey mode. Typing works fine in other programs. Don't have scroll lock or anything enabled.

Well, still no idea what the cause was but fixed the problem by reinstalling. Now 5.4.03f

Edit: Actually: Had to go back to 5.3 versions because 5.4 broke everything. When I reinstalled 5.3 I had the same problem again. Seems like a bug.

If you made a backup then close Unity, delete all .meta files then open Unity. It won't work the first time, but when you open it again it will work.

Tip: go to the folder of your project and type in search "ext:meta" no quotation marks. It will find all meta files.
