hello,
as a user there is no problem but when I become root it's impossible to get a dot.
ps: this faulty installation is on an ssd, I tried it on two laptops and got the same result.

I should have given an example. I mean that i can't write the name of a hidden file like .bashrc or I can't write a number like 1.2 etc.....

nothing happens, but if I use the ls -a command the name of hidden files is correct.
.ps: I accessed this ssd from another pc with an ssh connection: no problem. Then I became root and the same problem appeared..So there's no problem with the keyboard.

So the files are there and you can see them.
Then I became root and the same problem appeared..
So if you run ls -a from root, you don't see those files? Are you in the same directory? Use "pwd" to see if you are.

even as root I can see those files, the problem is : I can't type a dot(.) if I am root, the command, as root, ls -a can.

Interesting. Are you using a non-English locale and keyboard configuration?
localectl
...and:
sudo localectl

localectl
...and:
sudo localectl
~$ localectl
System Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
VC Keymap: (unset)
X11 Layout: fr
X11 Model: pc105
X11 Variant: latin9
~# localectl
System Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
VC Keymap: (unset)
X11 Layout: fr
X11 Model: pc105
X11 Variant: latin9
I've done
~# localectl set-keymap fr
so that even the Virtual Consoles use french but the problem is still there
