            It also does not work with the Norwegian keyboard.
            Switching back and forwards between keyboard layouts is not a good workaround when you are writing documentation, and it kind of defeats the point of this being a "short-cut".

            I can confirm this still is an issue (German layout)

            I have simular issue with the Belgium keyboard layout
            If we will get a [ we have to hit also the ALT GR key

            'Workaround' for Confluence wiki & the shortcut to toggle the sidebar is only using the [ without the ALT GR.
