I can use these buttons to change the diameter of the Symbol Spreyer Tool and the Blob Brush when I use the buttons without modifier keys. It could be related to the fact that one of the keys is used for the Icelandic character Ð (Eth) but it is possible that it is working for you on a non-Icelandic keyboard.
There is though some problem with the square-bracket buttons for me at least. This how I correct the majority of the shortcuts that are using the keys marked in red in the picture. Usually one only has to type in the new shortcut into the left field. The left field will not change and continues to show the US/UK setting. In this case where I am using a key that is different from the US keyboard I have to type Æ into right field and then the whole shortcut into the left field.
If I change this shortcut to Cmd + Æ for Hide/Show Guides, Æ being in the same spot as the semicolon on the US keyboard, it works as expected. This breaks this shortcut because it would give me Shift + Cmd +, which is a totally different thing and is a shortcut taken for something else. To type a semicolon on the Icelandic keyboard I need to hold down the Shift key and hit the comma. For instance Cmd + to Hide/Show Guides is not available on my Icelandic keyboard. The default keyboard shortcut setting in Illustrator uses some keys that are not available on my keyboard. If you want to keep the old one which you could not possibly have known was in use without some help, you have to cancel out of the window and start from your last saved point. Here is a warning: If you chose to use some combination which is already in use you will get a warning soon as you hammer it in but you have already lost the old one.

The hard part of making and changing shortcuts however is to find out which key combinations are free to use and to avoid changing important shortcuts that are already working fine. It is at least a good starting point if you want to get all the shortcuts I added and then you can change the ones you need.

For a limited time you can DOWNLOAD my settings file from my Dropbox ( Link to a free 2.25 GB free Dropbox account) if you think you can use it.

One good thing to remember is that this settings file can be found on the mac in ~/User/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings/en_GB/ (The en_GB part may be different between countries). The main reason for this date order is for the sets to be sorted in alphabetical order if we make many. Your name, the application, version number and the date in reversed order YYMMDD. As soon as you have made the first change you will have to save your changed set under a new name. You are not allowed to change the Default set. Just go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts… and start typing in shortcuts you want to add or change. It’s very easy to change a keyboard shortcut.
And I might be able to save you some time. I have spent some (er… huge rather) time through the years to correct this. This has in fact been a problem forever in previous versions, not only in Illustrator but in all the Creative Suite. There is a problem however that the default shortcuts are made for the US keyboard and if one is using a different “foreign” keyboard layout some very important shortcuts will not work unless you change them. Illustrator 15 (CS5) comes with a load of ready made shortcuts which can save you a lot of time.
