Before anyone asks, Yes I've made sure the keyboard itself is not the problem, the two keys in question work fine when I hold shift to make curly brackets, and the they do properly type square brackets in for other computers. I was coding along in visual studio code, and found that my square bracket keys stopped working, they work fine when I hold shift to create curly brackets though. I restarted my computer several times but no luck, after I did some digging and used the xev command.

That is what happens when I hit the square bracket keys, I think some other program is interrupting the square bracket from going through, atleast, that is what I've gotten from all my digging. Problem is, I have no clue what program that would be. It happens even when I just freshly booted the machine. When I go to Settings->Keyboard and try to bind the keys to something, it recognizes them and will even allow me to bind them for existing commands. Any ideas what could be causing this?
