How to access Gameplay Developer Tools within game on non-US keyboard?

I have seen that one can access the GDT within game by hitting the apostrophe ’ key. However, on a non-US keyboard (German in my case) I need to press SHIFT+’ in order to access that character.

Now when I focus the in-game camera on an AI-controlled character and hit SHIFT+’ nothing happens. Also that key without SHIFT does not do anything in my case.

This has very high severity for me, as I don’t see any workaround to access GDT within the game without that hotkey.
Or is there any workaround that I just don’t know?
