Hi
Not sure why you would be using Alt codes, and those numbers don't look right as they are too low . . .
There should be {}[] keys just to the right of the P key and then the |\ key - the || is very useful for OR operations . . .
You may need to find a keyboard that has these keys natively if yours doesn't . . .

it's the keyboard layout ... Swiss German in my case. I also use alt 5/6 for [] and alt 8/9 for {} for the Mac. But it works in the Lemur editor. The same keyboard in Windows has those keys next to P or รถ, but also with the right alt key.

I guess you can do it if you change the keyboard layout to US English.

I have also notced some Problems with the Brackets. Often i have to hit ALT 7/8/9/0 twice to get the bracket.
