SUMMARY

After updating to KDE 6.4.0, the keyboard does not work as expected: numpad outputs symbols when the number are pressed; "greater/less than" key outputs a "z" rather than "greater/less than" symbol. Also, different applications reproduce different behaviour (for example, the numpad works in Kate but not in vscode). Other wrong behaviours are common amongst all the application; e.g.: the numpad * key outputs a + symbol.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Press a key like "greater/less than" symbol, or press a numpad key

OBSERVED RESULT
Wrong symbol is output.

EXPECTED RESULT
The symbol displayed on the physical keyboard key should be shown in the (any) editor.

Did the configured keyboard layout change? It sounds a bit like that's what happened. You can check in System Settings > Keyboard
