Basically I recently switched my keyboard layout to a semi-modified us, intl layout and the default keybinds for games have shifted left for only the qwerty and asdfg rows. So w -> q, e -> w, a -> ], s -> a, etc. Typing in games has no issues and outputs the right symbols, it is only the default keybinds that shift. This seems to only happen in wine/proton games and native linux games like CS2 don't have this issue. The issue persists through reboots, but seems to fix itself when switching back to us, basic.

this depends on how the game implements reading inputs
if a game waits for input of character A then it will trigger on whatever key causes an A
if, and that's the majority, the game uses scancodes it triggers on when pressing a specific key no matter what letter the current layout maps it to
as default layout works the question becomes: how does your modified custom layout differ from standard one?

Thank you so much this finally got me on the right track. For anyone else in the future, us, intl by default has a key <LFSH> which isnt on standard pc105 keyboards and removing it fixed it for me.

if by "us intl" you mean "us international" then this would be a match: https://kbdlayout.info/kbdusx
i wasn't able to figure out what LFSH could be - but: what do you use as physical device? is it a regular standard keyboard or something more "exotic"?
