Yes, that's it. Sorry for expressing myself poorly. I am, of course, 
used to []{} even if I can't see them on the keyboard. But __quis 
composit compositor__: how can use one to compose a command if itself 
must be composed? But basically I'd like other (standard) combinations 
that don't require composed keys. I think indent/dedent maybe standard 
because I think my IDE does this: TextMate uses

Regarding names: I'm fed up of Apple changing the names and designs (I 
want my Apple key back!!!) for the keys but on this Apple keyboard 
(around 2016 notebook style) the option key definitely says "alt". Maybe 
it would be just possible to show the combination differently? I think I 
"learned" that TextMate used cmd + alt + 5/6 without ever thinking about 
[].
