Cannot write curly braces

Unfortunately, I cannot write the opening curly brace { on a Hungarian keyboard layout. It works when I change to the English layout, but it is very inconvenient to swap between the layouts all the time. What can I do? Where can I set it to recognise the Hungarian keyboard?

There is a way to enter characters if you don't have the key on the keyboard. On Windows you would press 'Alt' then the numerical value of the letter. Pressing the keys 'ALT,6,5' would be the same as typing capital 'A'.
It has been a while since I did this so my information might be a bit off (and I am not infront of a Windows computer) so you might want to google it. I knew someone who used to use this all the time with passwords (they always included a few characters that you couldn't directly type on a keyboard like 'Alt,2,5,5' or 'Alt,0').

Alt+123 as { works in a Notepad, but in Qt it opens the tabs at the bottom, i.e. "Issues", "Search Results", "Application Output".

If I got it correctly in Hungarian layout
{
isright alt + b
and}
isright alt + n
. I switched keyboard layout to Hungarian and the latter seems to work ok.alt+b
is by default a shortcut for build, so you migh want to change that in the keyboard settings (Tools - > Options -> Environment -> Keyboard
). -

Indeed, the right alt+B caused the conflict. Thank you, now it works. How can I accept this answer?

Just pour clean water into the glass, solution:
Edit -> Preferences -> Enviroment -> Keyboard -> search for Build keyword and reset all CTRL+ALT+ B key combinations, I know it's an old post but in our home is always a problem(Hungarian keyboard). -
