Shortcuts doesnt work on my notebook keyboard

Hi!
I want to rotate photos with a shortcut in Lightroom Classic (Windows).
I think i used to do it with "Ctrl+.".
It doesnt work.
In the LR help sections it sais the shortcut is "Ctrl+]"
To write "]" I need to press "AltGr+9" on my Keyboard. That is the keyboard of my Dell XPS 15 and on my Logitech MX Key Mini it is the same.
Here is a picture of the keyboard layout:

I tried "Ctrl+AltGR+9" but it doesnt work.
Does anybody know how i can use a shortcut to turn photos in the library with my keyboards?
Thanks in advance!

Correct answer toklas

ps: i just changed the keyboard layout from german to english (us). Now i have a designated key for "[" and "]". Now the shortcut works. Whe the "[" is the second options on a keyboard key, it doesnt work for LR shortcuts. I know my options now 🙂

1. In which language are you running LR? 

 

2. Adobe's list of shortcuts is incomplete and has mistakes, especially for languages other than English.  You can see the authoritative list of shortcuts for all languages here:

3. A quick way to see the shortcuts for many commands is to look in the menus:

 

What shortcuts are showing for Rotate Left/Right in your LR?

Hi!
Thanks for your reply!
I use LR in english. The shortcut in the menu is "Ctrl+[".
Do I need an english keyboard to use english shortcuts?
I just changed the languar to german, now the shortcut ist "Ctrl+.". And that works.
But i prefer to use LR in english because most of the help contents are in english.
