Can't write []@ etc with ctrl+alt/alt gr in workspace console

Hi

I've just started out on my Python quest, and I'm slowly learning the basic. Everything worked fine to a start, but now I can't write []{}@ etc in the workspace console.

I'm on a swedish keyboard layout, so to write [ for example I press Alt Gr+8 or ctrl+alt+8. The same goes for ]}{[@ etc but with other number keys of course. This problem is only in the console. I've scratched my head and I can't figure out what settings I've come across. I'm think it's some sort of shortcomand I've accidently hit, beacuse when I first noted it I just befor sliped on the keyboard (was switching between windows). And after that I have this problem.

Do anyone have any ideas? All help is welcome!

I have the same problem on multiple computer and at least two browsers (Iexplorer and chrome). I also checked my keyboard layout settings and it is set to swedish when using the console.

Thanks! /Oscar

Edit: I've tried using alt+91 to write [ and that works, however this isn't a viable workaround as I'm not going to be able to rember all the alt-codes for the diffrent symbols.
