I broke something and I don't really know how to fix it.
I use an spanish keyboard, on an spanish windows 10, with spanish layout and... well, you get the picture, everything is spanish.
For years I've been using Left Alt for several stuff like:
Left Alt + `: [
Left Alt + ´: {
Left Alt + 3: #
Left Alt + 2: @
However, now, I was programming 1 hour ago and somehow I disabled it. It won't work anymore. Left Ctrl + Left Alt + something works exactly as Left alt + something should work, so that points out that it's not the phisical key doing something weird, it has to do with software. I uninstalled and re-installed the driver, I closed all programs, I restarted the computer and it still won't work.
For context: I was programming on Pycharm about Qt Keysequences so maybe that's why it got broken. Nevertheless, I have no clue why it broke or how to actually fix it.
Any suggestion?

Did you try to reboot? – harrymc – 2018-03-22T16:38:11.813
As said, yes, I restarted the computer. – Saelyth – 2018-03-22T16:42:26.613
I think Qt has its own mechanism. If the previous keys mapping was through the Windows registry (meaning available everywhere), you can remake it via a utility such as SharpKeys.

Left alttoLeft alt? Seems really silly if it really works as the "key where you map" and "key to be mapped" will be the same, because right now Alt key works on stuff like ctrl + alt + something, but alt alone doesn't, like it misses a modifier. – Saelyth – 2018-03-22T17:50:46.870Please don't edit the answer into your question.
