this is a problem with most other European keyboard layouts as well.
I'm using Canadian keyboard layout most of the time while I'm coding
for this reason. The Canadian layout has [ and ] on the two keys to
the left of the return key, and { and } are shift and the same keys.
I need [, ], {, } a lot when coding, so using a Canadian layout is
good for my productivity in any case (a US layout works equally well
of course).
If you enable it in your keyboard settings, you can switch keyboard
layouts with cmd-shift-space, so it's quite quick and easy to switch
between the two most recently used layouts (Canadian and German in my
case). Furthermore, you can switch keyboard layouts by clicking in
the flag that is displayed in the upper right corner of your screen
(again, if you enabled it).
HTH,
Nico
ps: If you're feeling adventurous, you can also add a dvorak layout
to the list of your keyboard layouts ;-)
