On the other hand in Sp keyb. you must press Opt fot access ] or [ keys....
] = Opt-]actually the ]-key contains the *+] chars, * is with Shift, + is the default and, I've said ] is with option.
then if you press Cmd-Opt-] you always get "Edit -> Shift right" as if you've pressed Cmd-]
Yes, unfortunately, European keyboard layouts are pretty terrible for editing source code, as they make it hard to type non-alphanumeric ASCII characters, in favor of various accented characters, etc. This is particularly tragic because the Mac US keyboard layout has excellent support for easily typing all of the common accented characters, while also being excellent for typing special characters like `[]{}();:'"<>/?|~!@#$%^&*-_=+`, all of which either have a reserved key or use only shift as a modifier.
Many Europeans, including Allan (the TextMate developer) use the US keyboard layout for coding, because they have found that the benefit of easily typable syntax to vastly outweigh the slightly harder-to-type accented letters. Others stick to their European layouts but complain bitterly about hard-to-reach bundle shortcuts, and their general unhappiness with requiring hand acrobatics to do any kind of coding.
Personally, I think that the US Mac keyboard layout is the best layout in mainstream use (much better and more consistent than the keyboard layouts used in Windows/Linux for typing accented characters), and with some personal tweaking (use Ukelele for this) can be made excellent for writing any language with a mostly latin alphabet.
