I am either writing on my MacBook (US) keyboard, or a Swedish keyboard at work. The Swedish keyboard has the {, [, ], } keys on 7, 8, 9, 0 using the AltGr key.
Just make sure that the appropriate keyboard layout is selected in the control panel, and you shouldn't have a problem. I had an issue with this, and it was just that windows automatically changed the keyboard to UK layout instead of sticking with the Swedish.

Or you could be like me and spend $210 (after o-rings and shipping/handling) on a WASD Code Keyboard. :D
