OS El Capitan 10.11.5
Late 2015 iMac
USB keyboard connection
Bluetooth Magic Mouse 2
I'm trying to use disk utility first aid in recovery mode for my Macintosh hard drive. My USB keyboard works in recovery mode but not my mouse
with a bluetooth connection does not. I'm able to boot into recovery and use my keyboard only, to choose disk utility, choose Macintosh HD but unable to move up from Mackintosh HD to choose the first aid button. I've tried tapping the option key>tab key>spacebar and return key but none of those keys work.
I've tried researching if bluetooth devices don't work in recovery mode or only usb connected mouse and keyboard devices work in recovery but there's not any info on it. Does anyone know if this is the case? Does anyone know a keyboard key to use after selecting HD to choose first aid button in recovery? The arrow right and left won't move to first aid and the up and down arrows change the HD option away from Macintosh HD I need to choose.
