Changing the brush size with [ or ] doesn’t work on German keyboards. The reason is that on German keyboards [ and ] are option-5 or option-6. There is no key for [ or ]. What can I do to change the brush size quickly? Or os there a way to change the hotkeys?

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

Yes, the standard keyboard shortcuts are designed for English keyboards. You can change them, though, in your Photo Preferences, in the Keyboard Shortcuts section:

 There is a bug, however. As far as I recall, reported already many times, and in some other instances also partially fixed.
You can change the shortcuts but some of them will be reset if you quit the app.
For me, meanwhile this has become an "automatic ritual" to double-check these shortcuts upon every app launch… :/

German keyboard here …
working for me is tab + , (not tab + ö)
in the keyboard shortcuts overview, it still shows tab + / (is that possibly based on the profile language setting?)

No, that is for english keyboard layout, as a standard preference.
