Ugh, that is such a bad arrangement of the four combos. It should obviously have been [ for left and ] for right (just as [ and ] are a pair), and Shift to turn single into double (just as Shift turns ' into ").

I’ve looked at the ASCII tables to try to figure out ¿what were they thinking? and suspect it has to do with option \ and | being « and » (and euro key for ` and ´ being one key’s base and shift).
See the ASCII table in the article, for example. I've considered the thing done wrong is the ] and { should've swapped. But then < and > and ( and ) beg me to differ.
