Select other shortcut key on different regions / keyboard setups

I thought it would be helpful to collect this mystery key on separate thread.

So this is what Onshape says:

SELECT OTHER SHORTCUT KEY

You can now select hidden geometry by pressing a new shortcut key on your keyboard to start the Select Other command. You can keep pressing this key to cycle through the available selections, then press the left mouse button to select the highlighted geometry. This shortcut key may be different depending upon your keyboard layout, but its location will be the same (above the Tab key). For example, on a US or UK keyboard it is the Grave Accent ( ` ), on a German keyboard it is the Caret ( ^ ) and on a Spanish keyboard it is the Degree symbol ( ° ). 

In Finnish keyboard it seems to be ' ö '


Which is actually funny as this is exactly the sound we make when searching for shortcut or cycling through available selections, öööööööööö :lol::joy:
