No idea - but I don't have a German keyboard myself either.

You could enable some debug output by editing the source file
"zim/gui/pageindex.py" and look for this line:

#~ print 'KEY %s (%i)' % (gtk.gdk.keyval_name(event.keyval), event.keyval)

(should be around line 556). Remove the "#~ " prefix, save, and
restart zim with the "-D" switch.

Now it should print out how the keystrokes are interpreted by gtk.

This information would help to investigate and see how to fix this.

Sorry, my fault, I've realized that a note was selected, when I was pressing the above mentioned combinations. When a note is note highlighted in the content side bar, then it works!

Btw, how can I change the keybord shortcuts of "expand all" and "collapse all"?

Good question. At the moment it is hard coded, so no option to change
it other than hacking the code. Don't even know what a logical place
would be for this.

What key bindings do you think are more logical for these actions ?

That's a good question!

Maybe you can put these two options in the "View" menu. Then everybody can assign GTK shortcuts as they prefer.

Can't really do that, since these are not global bindings. There may
be more than one tree view in a window. With a global binding you
would not know which is being changed.
