I've got a Danish keyboard, seeing as I'm Danish.
But in a Lesson, I gotta press ctrl + ].
My keyboard requires that I press ctrl + alt to use a bracket. But Alt is also the key that causes the top menu bar to appear.
I can't change the key for the menu bar, and I can't change the ctrl + ] to something else.
Any fixes?

Go to settings on fs, then go to controls on the right, then a list will come up. Scroll down and find what you want to change it to then click on it and then at the bottom click make new keyboard assignment.
Press Ctrl and ] and then click save.
Presto ;D

Add the US/International English keyboard and use it when you play FS
Here's how on XP:
Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages tab > Details button > Add button > Select the English (United States) keyboard and install it. Then just switch to that keyboard when you play FS
Hope this does it for you

I don't want to use a completely different keyboard setup, I'm used to this one.

It's very simple. After you've installed the US keyboard, just press Alt+L Shift to use the US one.. then press it again to switch back to the Danish one. I have 4 different keyboards installed and I have no troubles with them
