Standard Serbian keyboard layout doesn't even have "[]{}" characters. Do we fix this only for layouts that can produce '[' and ']' with some combination of key presses?

If that's the case, isn't it a gmail issue that '[' and ']' are not good choice for some KBD layouts?  You have to file a bug ('feature request') against gmail, don't you?

This bug is about '[' and ']' not working in gmail + Webkit-on-Windows on KBD layouts where it IS possible to type them (and it works with Firefox and Opera + gmail).

Don't have test case to reproduce but this was fixed in Chrome / Blink around 2017 to 2018 time:

Is it something we need to look into? Thanks!
