@ is AltGr+q {[|]} are only reachable via ALTGR ; needs a shift and so one. But this is nothing compared with the pain to search äöüß on an english keyboard.
In the days of yore, programming TurboPascal, I had simply painted the english codes to the keys and switched the layout.
In VFP it's no prolem at all.
