211 PointsI can't add [] nor {} in the python shell (although I can when writing in a file)
Is this just happening to me?

211 PointsThere's not really an example. When I press "alt + shift + 8" (I'm in a mac), while writing on the shell, it doesn't show the curly brackets. My problem is that I'm only able to write normal parentheses (on the shell). Was this clear?

211 PointsI can add {} and [] everywhere EXCEPT on the shell (like in the video). That's my problem
Krishna Pratap Chouhan
15,203 PointsDid you tried these? Just adding adding more options.
Sorry didn't faced such problems ever, but I know it this sucks.

Courses Plus Student 889 PointsSame problem for me.
When I press "alt + shift + 5" (I'm in a mac), while writing on the shell, it doesn't show the brackets.
It works here in the comment section, as well as everywhere else.
Thanks.

6,576 Pointshave no idea. I finished a few course before here on Treehouse and never had any problem with using Workspace. Except with Python. Even if I change the language of my keyboard is not working
