I agree on this.

No problem with the equal sign on a Swiss French kbd. I get it with
a Shift modifier, Shift+0.
The second part of your sentence is not clear to me. Did you *add*
Ctrl-numpad-+/- or did you *replace* Ctrl-[] with Ctrl-numpad-+/-.
The latter case is ok, the former still causes an issue.
Just forget this remark, if you choose the "replace" way.
Side note. There are quite a lot of editors based on Scintilla (SciTE, Crimson, ...). Users of these editores are comfortable with Ctrl-numpad-+/-. Ctrl+= may be redundant.

No, I just added. I guess I don't understand the issue, can the user not type a [ if the shell is doing something with Ctrl-[?

Agreed, but if somebody is already comfortable with Ctrl-[ and ] in PyShell and they suddenly disappear... Another example, on my laptop I have to hit an extra key to get the numpad + and -, and there is no numpad /.
But if there is a real problem with Ctrl-[ and ] then I have no problem getting rid of them.
