Windows German keyboard - Problems setting Hotbar Slots 11 and 12 to ß and ` (next to the 0 key in the number row)

Hello, I have some questions on setting the controls:

First: I play SDV in English but use a German keyboard. I use Windows 10 22H2 Build 19045.5247 on a laptop with these PC specs: Intel i7 1065G7, 12 GB RAM, Intel Iris Plus Graphics. I try to set the 11th and 12th hotbar slots to ß and ´, as shown in this picture:

(Picture source: https://langster.org/en/blog/german-keyboard-layout-how-to-switch-and-type-in-german/)

However trying to do that normally I get the error "Key already in use. Try again.". My controls are mostly unchanged, with these exceptions:
  • Journal: J instead of F
  • Chat: Enter instead of T
  • Hotbar slot #11: . (Dot) (2 keys right of the M) instead of Minus
  • Hotbar slot #12: - (Dash) (3 keys right of the M) instead of Plus
Here is my input binding schema:

I also tried to use the umlaut keys, namely Ä, Ö (next to L), and Ü (next to P) but these did not work. Also the #/' key next to Ä did not work, but the +/*/~ key next to Ü was assignable somehow.

Is there some kind of JSON file I have to change in order to be able to use ß and ` for hotbar slots 11 and 12 on German keyboard? I tried to start the game temporarily in German to assign the controls but it did not work.

I thank you for your answer
