bracket keys [ and ] missing on my Belgian keyboard

can not use these as shortcuts in After Effects - can other keys be assigned for the functions originally related to these bracket keys ? If so how to proceed ?  Thx for any help.

    Correct answer P.M.B

    Thx - finally found both the command lines - am trying now to find available unused key short cuts to replace the actual one which are not on my keyboard (hexagonal codes  0x5B and 0x5D) - is there eventually a list of non used key shortcuts.


    As far as I know there is not a list of unused hotkeys like you might see in another program or if you'll you'll get a conflict warning.   What I might do is just pick a shortcut out of that list that I don't use & reassign those to keys to what would be the brackets.  Like I said though you should probably make a backup of the original .txt file just in case you need to restore it.

    Good luck

    You can edit the keyboard shortcuts text file.

    For AE v14 on a WIndows machine you open the "...shortcuts.txt" ( C:\User\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\AfterEffects\Version), find the commands "TimeSetIn" & "TimeSetOut" and edit the keys used.   Obviously beware of assigning keys that will cause conflict.
