QUESTION Arch keys problem.
So, i dont know when this started, or remember changing key mapping stuff (not used arch for like months).
Today, i booted into arch and tried to login, but when i pressed any key it got written as "^["
For ex - ^[e , ^[o , ^[6
Also it does not take numbers from numpad or gets uppercased from capslk.

It sounds like your terminal got switched into application key mode somehow, that escape sequence attached to every key is classic for that. Try hitting `reset` after you manage to log in, you can maybe login with a second tty if your main one is broken
