What is the language of your keyboard? By default, on an AZERTY keyboard, you need to press AltGr + 4

If that doesn't work:
  • Control Panel / Region and Language / Keyboard and Language tab
  • Press change keyboard


Otherwise, for me it's ctrl + alt + the two keys after ":" (I'm on QWERTY). Normally, the curly braces are found on a key that has multiple characters
  • at the bottom right you just press it like ","
  • at the bottom left you press ctrl+alt+the "¯" key
  • at the top right you press shift+the "'" key


the characters are normally printed on the key ;)

Thank you for your help Drifty123. I'm not always zen... (-; but I eventually found it. I'm mastering all kinds of concepts at once. My keyboard is in French (Canada) and the braces aren’t where they are drawn on the keyboard even when I press ALT, SHIFT, CTRL, or spin around twice and do a somersault...!

Anyway, on my keyboard I do:
{ : "ALT" on the right and " " " on the right as well
} : "ALT" on the right and "|" on the right

And there you go!

Have a great end of the day,
