He meant that to produce the left square bracket on the German keyboard, 
he needs to press alt-5 (option-5 if you will). So how do you produce a 
shortcut that itself requests the alt key to be hold. Will the alt key 
be recognized doubly, once to produce the bracket and then to produce 
the shortcut? I gather he has to remap these shortcuts to completely 
other keys.
