Immediate fix

You can customize the shortcuts in AltTab's preferences:

Long-term improvement

The issue here is the secondary shortcut ⌥+`. Spanish keyboard use it to generate ].

This issue could be addressed by having a more suitable default for that shortcut, on Spanish keyboards: ⌥+|. However, this raises the question of what is a Spanish keyboard? How do we detect it? Are they Spanish keyboard with different layouts? Here is the problem space:

What we may be able to do, is detect which key is above tab, and use that as a default for the secondary shortcut. If something goes wrong like the keyboard doesn't have a key above tab, then we fallback on `.

I implemented that logic of using the key above tab as the default shortcut, depending on the user input source. That should cover cases like this. It will be released in the next version
