Default Enlarging Items problems!
Has anybody here come across this? My keyboard (I'm Danish) Basically european layout. The [ and ] are basically ctrl + alt + 8 and 9. Not a seperate button. And because of this I seem to have no way to enlarge objects. Shift + ctrl + alt + 8/9 dosent work. Anybody know a possible fix? My keyboard software wont let me bind a key to [ or ].

All I can think of is maybe using a macro program like Autohotkey to try and make two other keys presses send in [ and ] respectively. I'm not sure if that will work or not though.

For me (German) instead of shift + [ or ] it's shift + ß or ´. Maybe you haven't found the right keys for your country yet? Try the two keys left of the return key, maybe?

Same problem for me as well, I have a Croatian keyboard and [ and ] are on F and G but I tried those and doesn't work. I tried all other keys and nothing.

Try anything that's to the right of P maybe? The nearest button to the right should decrease the size, one more to the right should increase it.

I had the same issue (using a German keyboard). I added the us-keyboard layout to my computer settings (Windows 8.1) and now I can easily switch between those two. That may also works for all of you.
