Dock Window left keyboard shortcut inoperative with Nordic keyboard

Reported by jim.dan...@gmail.com, Dec 1 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 8872.54.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.54 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Use keyboard shortcut to dock window left
2. Use keyboard shortcut to dock window right
3. Note that both shortcuts dock to right
4. Note that onscreen keyboard map does not show docking shortcuts at all.

What is the expected behavior?
Shortcuts should work the same as US keyboards based on key locations.

What went wrong?
Shortcut is not functional.

Did this work before? N/A

See CBC thread for more details and picture of the keyboard in question. I am filing this bug for a user.

User affected by this bug here. Just to nip a possible follow-up question on what else might work in the bud: going by US keyboard shortcut symbols ("[" and "]") instead of physical location on keyboard doesn't work either. Those symbols are "isotopes" to the "8" and "9" keys on the Nordic keyboard, so you're pressing "alt+8" if you try to press "alt+[".

@afakhry how do we expose docking shortcuts on other keyboards where the [ and ] keys are not easily accessible?

I'm not familiar with Nordic keyboards. Does AltGr+9 produce "]"? 

+kpschoedel
It does indeed.

AltGr+8 = [
AltGr+9 = ]
So does Alt+AltGr+8 dock windows to the left?
Alt+AltGr+8 does nothing and Alt+AltGr+9 launches calculator.

A proposal from another thread is Alt+Shift+8/9. Would that work for Nordic as well?
