Despite being Danish I haven't really ever looked into the issue of localizing keyboard shortcuts.

I did notice though that Apple is apparently trying to solve the problem described above in macOS 12. To learn more, a starting point could be the links/quotes in [this blog post](https://mjtsai.com/blog/2021/06/17/macos-12-localized-keyboard-shortcuts/).

In short, a shortcut like ⌥⌘[ will be mapped to something using the same physical keys as on the US keyboard. This does appear to happen if I switch to a Danish keyboard layout.

This is just for your information, I haven't really developed an opinion on whether it's good or bad :)
