[SOLVED] While Shift+1 prints "!'', the key 1 prints nothing!

UPDATE - the solution that worked for me: By removing ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc file, now that it's reset, I can type 1 by the key 1. My desktop is KDE Plasma and maybe there's kinda conflict by assigning new shortcut for Yakuake drop-down terminal or other software. But I don't know the exact reason for the issue.

QUESTION:

When I press the key '1' on my laptop keyboard, it does not print anything on the screen, but Shift+1 prints "!". I have this problem only with the key '1'. It doesn't matter which layout is in use, I tried different layouts and still '1' prints nothing. Other keys work well.

My laptop: Dell Inspiron 5458 and My desktop: KDE Plasma
