Thank you @thieftdp8498
We’re already tracking this issue with that specific key, depending on the layout it can be º key as well.

I think this was solved but could be just fluke.

reseting everything to default inside the game didn’t help at all. I had to go to the game folder under profile and delete hotkeys/profile and start fresh. not sure if its corrupted but after that it worked.
