shortcut >> CTRL + ] << on German keyboard layout

Hello,

https://docs.devsense.com/navigation/goto-brace#go-to-brace-1 says, you can navigate the cursor to the matching brace by clicking >> CTRL + ] << or >> CTRL + SHIFT + ] << to mark the text between the two brace. Unfortunately this doesn't work on a German keyboard (you have to press >> ALT GR + 9 << to type a "]", >> CTRL + ALT GR + 9 << simply types another "]", too).

I tried the >> CTRL + + <<, which is the second right to button "P" on German keyboard layout -- this sometimes works, but most times it doesn't.

Is there a way to change the keyboard shortcut?

Wouldn't it be great, if "PHP Tools vor Visual Studio" would do the same as Microsoft C# editor does with >> CTRL + w <<, extending the selected code blocket with every successive pressing of >> CTRL + w << to the next code block? PHPStorm does the same with >> CTRL + w <<.

Thanks and Regards
Björn

Hello,

Did you try to check this https://docs.microsoft.com/cs-cz/visualstudio/ide/identifying-and-customizing-keyboard-shortcuts-in-visual-studio

We've not particularly tested German keyboard, but it's the first time we have a report for such a issue. Please take a look at the link above and let us know your findings.

Thanks,
