Alternative is to press keys with shift u til you find the ones with square brackets.

Treehouse TeacherMy guess is that you are using a non-US keyboard. While the workspaces editor understands your keymappings on your keyboard, this is not true of the workspaces console. You will need to change your system keyboard to an English variant. Personally, I use the US keyboard layout. Hope this helps!

A more permanent fix would be nice for this...
