keyboard status in apple os

Hello group,

How can I find out what the keyboard status is in Mac OS ?
It would be great if that is command line. Otherwise still acceptable.

What do you mean by keyboard status?

It is Mac OS 10. The keyboard doesn't work when I type but when I connect an external keyboard it works fine. I'm not a Mac person. It is mac book.
