The WordPress technical engineers advised the following workaround for posting comments until they can fix the bug.
“We have reported this to our developers and they are looking into it. While we do not have an exact timeline for a fix, I can assure you that it’s on our radar.
The workaround is copying the comment from a text/word editor and then pasting it into the comment box.”
Hobbo and Wormsie, I hope this helps.

This is what I wrote: At the moment, if I comment on other blogs, the “k” key causes WP to think that I wish to exit the page. And another key (perhaps “l”?) activates and de-activates the “like” star. It is very aggravating. It is not only happening to me. Other bloggers are experiencing it and are so discouraged, they can’t be bothered to comment on other blogs anymore. WP is a community so not only has my experience become annoying and inconvenient, but I feel like the community is coming untied.
Report it to WordPress so they know how common this bug is. There’s a contact form at https://wordpress.com/help/contact
