<p>Even with respect to the qwerty layout, I would still expect that I have to press Shift + 9 to enclose the selection with brackets ... It's just inconsistent that 8 and 9 behave so totally different. In particular, I am referring to the numeric keypad, where
no keyboard layout (I am aware of) has a bracket printed above the 9.</p>

<div style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Old thread, but still up to date. When would you ever expect the 9 key do add<br>
brackets? I struggle with it every day.<br>
<br>
What would be wrong with just removing this 9? Or at least introducing a new<br>
preference for that (TextEditor>>#useDigitsToEncloseSelection)?<br>
