Hello,
As far as I know Option and [ or ] selects the layer above or below in Photoshop.
How can I do that on a iMac Portuguese layout keyboard?
Thank you.
You are correct that Option with a square bracket key selects the layers on an American English keyboard.
I can think of one thing for you to try. Can you go to the Layer menu > Arrange and see what the shortcuts are for moving layers? On my keyboard, it uses the square backets with either Cmd or Cmd+Shift.
If you see a character in this menu that is used instead of the square brackets, maybe that's the key you are looking for. It may or may not work, but it's worth a try.

Hi Jane,
The problem is that the shortcuts I have on Layer Menu > Arrange are the same as yours.
Cmd or Cmd+Shift + square brackets 😞
I had the same problem with the shortcuts to increase and decrease the brush size but in this case I managed to change them to ‘<‘ to reduce brush size and ‘Shift+>' to increase brush size via Keyboard Shortcuts.
In this case, I can't find where the shortcuts are in order to change them.
* Wait! Finally, I already figured it out with the help of your tip.
Obviously they are hidden in Keyboard Shortcuts > Layers > Arrange… 😜
Thanks for your help.
