i3 detects Super+1234567890 as asdfghjklç and vice-versa
When i type Super+AnyNumber on my keyboard, it also presses the asdfghjklç keys.
Example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
a s d f g h j k l ç
when i switch to the third workspace (Super+3) in i3, it also thinks i pressed Super+D, which in turn opens Dmenu (Vice-Versa)
when i switch to the fourth workspace (Super+4), the current window goes fullscreen, because it thinks i pressed Super+F (Vice-Versa)
You get the idea
This is me typing in Dmenu (Super Key pressed):

it looks inconsistent. Sometimes it's right, sometimes it isn't
Notes: Some keys of my keyboard are disabled as configured in ~/.Xmodmap, (I followed the arch documentation on Xmodmap) because they are typing on their on. I need to do that until my keyboard is fixed. I doubt this is related to the bug but i thought mentioning would maybe help
i3 config (Part of it):
# Setting keyboard layout to br-abnt2
exec_always setxkbmap -model abnt2 -layout br
exec_always setxkbmap -option 'grp:alt_shift_toggle'
# Disabling keys
exec_always xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
What is this and how to fix?

i3 config (Part of it):
You're changing the layout of the keyboard after i3 starts, so i3 (probably) uses querty.

Or run setxkbmap in your session script *before* anything else (and don't fork it)
