He meant that to produce the left square bracket on the German keyboard, he needs to press alt-5 (option-5 if you will). So how do you produce a shortcut that itself requests the alt key to be hold. Will the alt key be recognized doubly, once to produce the bracket and then to produce the shortcut? I gather he has to remap these shortcuts to completely other keys.

And I've no idea how to get alt + cmd + [ because I'd need alt twice!

Typically "Alt" (common on Windows keyboards) is mapped to the Mac "Option" key rather than "Command" (a.k.a. "cloverleaf".) Does your keyboard have a 3rd modifier key of some sort, i.e. Control, Alt, and Something Else? I know that Windows keyboards usually have a Windows key, which is often mapped to Mac's Command.
