Hi,
During the Debian (stable) installation on Macbook pro from 2019,
my internal keyboard is not recognizable even I exhausted all possible

I have done a lot of installs on a 2011 iMac, and in my experience, you
need to do it with a wired USB keyboard. After the install, you can
manage the system with any keyboard you can manage to get working, but
for the purposes of installation, the Debian Installer and the Macintosh
together seem to need a wired USB keyboard.
