 * When I type the letter N on my keyboard, the comment section opens on the top
   admin tool bar next to where it says “Howdy (name)”. Has anyone seen this before?
   Is there a fix?
 * Thanks

 * Hello there!
 * Are you working on the Gutenberg or Block builder when this happens? I checked
   the available WordPress shortcuts but didn’t find one for the “N” key. Please
   check the link below.

 * It will help if you can provide more info about when or where this happens, then
   maybe we’ll know what triggers it. Disabling the plugins temporarily might also
   help.
 * Best Regards,
    Ismael

 * Thank you for the reply Ismael! I typically work with the classic editor. I’m
   just starting a new site after not working on one for a few years, so it’s what
   I’m used to.
 * It happens whether I am on the dashboard or on the actual page. It’s not live
   yet, so I can’t view it without being logged in. The only time it does not happen,
   is if i am actually typing in the backend in a textbox. If I’m filling out a 
   form on the site itself, the N issue still happens.
 * I too didn’t see any kind of shortcuts using N. I disabled comment shortcuts 
   as well. I also, had my business partner log in on his computer, and it happens
   there as well.
 * Thanks again,
    Chris

 * I’m still not sure what initially caused the issue, but I just removed the comment
   icon in the top admin bar by adding the following to functions.php:
 *     ```
       function remove_comments(){
               global $wp_admin_bar;
               $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('comments');
       }
       add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'remove_comments' );
       ```
   
 * That seemed to solve the issue.
