The keyboard is unresponsive when I'm trying to type it in, and the only button that works is enter, which earns me a "sorry, try again" message.
Does anybody know what's wrong? Can anybody help me?

Well let's see
sudo is not an editor it is used to get root access
and etc/hosts is an invalid path
try this
shad-macbook-pro:~ shad$ sudo su
sh-3.2# nano /etc/hosts
