Martin, do you really see "cmd-]" shown on the 'Shift Right' item
on the 'Edit' menu?  If so, then you have not set up your Alpha
configuration correctly.  In that case, do this:

- Open the Config>Preferences>Features dialog, and make sure that the
 'International Menus' checkbox is checked.
- Then, open the Config>Preferences>International dialog and choose
 'German' from the 'Keyboard' popup menu.

Then, there will be _nothing_ shown (no key combination bound) for
the 'Shift Right' and 'Shift Left' items of the 'Edit' menu.

(If you select 'French' rather than 'German', then 'Shift Right' will
be bound to cmd-).  Anyway, this is the choice made by the author of
the 'intlMenu::euro_two'/'intlMenu::euro_two' procs in the
'internationalMenus.tcl' file.)

Martin, if you want to bind command-option-5 and command-option-6
to shiftLeft and shiftRight, then you could paste the following two lines
into your 'prefs.tcl' file
(which is accessible by Config>Preferences>Edit_Prefs_File)

Bind    '5'   <co> shiftLeft
Bind    '6'   <co> shiftRight

Save your 'prefs.tcl' file and quit and relaunch Alpha, then those
new bindings will be active for you.
