type box tool not working in photoshop

[defaultyczrw5p6eqje]

When i open a type box, it does not allow me to enter any type. I press the keys and nothing appears. Is there a fix or workaround?

Hi @defaultyczrw5p6eqje :

Go to the Tools panel and select the Horizontal Type tool. Click your image where you would like to insert text and type a phrase. When you’re done, press Escape to exit the text field. Notice that a new layer with your text has appeared in the Layers panel.
