Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When typing in games or just in steam in general, the keys do not match to what I press. This is only an issue in Steam, my keyboard layout is German (Macintosh).
This is what the keys type:

1-6 - Normal
Shift - Space
Space,7,Q,W,E,R,T,Z,O,P,D,F,B - Nothing
8 - Esc (Maybe)
U - Q
I - 1
A - W
S - 2
G - C
H - X
J - D
K - E
L - 4
Y - F
X - T
C - R
V - 5
M - n
Ö - 3
+ - Z
Ä - #
, - B
. - H
Tab - `

Those are the ones that I think are important

Steps for reproducing this issue:

All I did was restart Steam.
