How do I use keyboard shortcuts on German keyboard?

Question

I am trying to use keyboard shortcuts in Google Docs with a German keyboard. In Google Docs keyboard shortcuts are made for American keyboards.

For example: "Increase Indent" needs Ctrl+].

On an American keyboard this is not a problem.

German keyboards don't have the ] as a key without pressing AltGr key at the same time. This messes up the shortcut and it doesn't work. Same for "Search the menus" (Alt+/).

Is there a way to change shortcuts or some workaround?

Here are my Google language settings:

Answer 1

the trick is to not use actual keys for [ & ] but intended ones:

• Strg + Ü
• Strg + *

for Alt + / use:

• Alt + _

Answer 2

On a German keyboard you can use Tab to increase and Shift+Tab to decrease indent.

This works for me on a German system with Win 10 and Chrome.
