So the problem here is that Finder steal the keys?

Is this 10.7? What preference pane are you using? I can’t find where 
this is set, nor do I really understand what you set, or that something 
like ^é would be a default key and treated as an alias for ⌘1-n…

Presumably you want to modify them in “Finder” — but I don’t 
really know what keys you are referring to. By default ⌘1-4 are used 
by Finder for the view options in the View menu, but only while Finder 
is active.

Because on many European layouts the default keys (⌘{ / ⌘}) are 
awkward or impossible to reach, so we provide an alternative, similarly 
there are also an alternative to ⌘[ / ⌘] — neither of these 
alternatives are listed anywhere, so not sure why this is “strange”. 
You can also close many windows with both ⌘W, ⎋, and ⌘.
