[solved] Accented keys dont work in zsh

My HDD failed a week ago, now i have a new one but most of config files are lost.
I have hungarian keyboard and my accented keys simply wont work in zsh neither under X neither vterms. If I start a bash, or login as root (whos term is also bash) in a vterm, the keys start working. All keys work in normal GUI apps, and generate proper keycodes in X.
All of them worked fine in my prevoius arch install, what am i missing?!

You might be missing a xmodkeys call in .zshrc that you have in .bashrc.

The issue is not connected to X and it is something global. I already cheked /etc/profile.bash and /etc/inputrc but i see nothing related.
