Typing curly braces ("{}") e.g. for variable names does not work: No character appears.

I use the german keyboard layout on a mac ("German Standard").
To type "{" on a german keyboard you press [option]+[7].


Countertests:

- Works with LTspice_mac_v17.0.22.0.dmg
- Works anywhere else in the OS.
- Braces show up correctly in mac's "Keyboard Viewer"
- I can copy-paste braces.
- I can switch to US Keybord Layout, then restart LTSpice and then i can type braces correctly (on their respective position on the US keyboard)
