+Prior to v8.7.6, the character pulldown for Shortcut Mapper keys mostly matched a standard US keyboard (excepting the `<>` key, which US keyboards don't generally have). It's not actually that _character_ that maps to Shortcut Mapper shortcut, but the underlying keyboard scancode, and how it maps to the Windows Virtual Key. The Community Forum has a [FAQ](https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/19734/faq-list-of-notepad-key-combinations-available-for-shortcuts) which shows the full "Virtual Key" vs "US key description", showing which are available to the shortcut mapper (and which shortcuts are by default assigned to an action in Notepad++). The FAQ also lists the equivalent keyboard keys for some major keyboards (including French, German, and Portuguese), and provides links to possible external websites that might help you figure out the mapping for your own keyboard. (The pre-v8.7.6 was more confusing, because the shortcut listed in Notepad++ shows a different key than you actually have to type on your non-US keyboard; if this confuses you, it is highly recommended to upgrade to a newer Notepad++, so the Shortcut Mapper matches your active keyboard.)
