[SOLVED] Plasma DE: cant type letter small letter v

Greetings,

I have decided to switch from gnome to plasma today, and I am having a wierd problem, I cannot type the letter v (not capital) but when i do shift V it works, i have also noticed that when I press and hold v on the keyboard the text cursor seems to constantly refresh instead of blinking, I have apsolutely no idea what is wrong or where i should be looking at, please help.

Thanks in advance!

Probably you have a v key used as shortcut for something.
go to keyboard in setting and check if any v letter is used as shortcut, and change it.

I have went throught all shortcuts and havent found 'v' listed anywhere, is there any way to restore all shortcuts to their default?

Thanks in advance,

I have found a solution, I have bound 'v' to the first global shortcut option I found, and then unbound it therefore fixing the problem, I can now type the letter.

Thanks for the help!
