Keyboard shortcuts for the Google Apps Script code editor menu - how to use with / reconfigure for different keyboard layouts


I am learning Google Apps Scripts, using the code editor as instructed in the Codelabs tutorials. I am using a Norwegian keyboard (Lenovo Thinkpad), so some keyboard shortcuts don't work for me (eg Word completion and Toggle comment, as shown in pic 1). My "/" sits on the number 7 key and requires Shift to reach it (pic 2). Prefixing these shortcuts with Shift doesn't work.

Any suggestions how I can either:

a) make these shortcuts work?
or
b) assign new key combinations for them?

I don't want to alter keyboard layout. It has to remain as Norwegian.

Thanks.

Solution

  • I decided just to bite the bullet and try various combinations. The one that worked is Ctrl+', using the *' key to the left of the Return key. Not sure why, but I'm happy with that.
