Making KeyboardReprogram work for the Esplora

Hello,
my Problem is that the KeyboardReprogram Sketch (Examples > Keyboard > KeyboardReprogram) doesn't work on the esplora with german keyboard layout set in system settings ( I use Windows 11 with german keyboard on my laptop).
I modified the sketch to write the Esplora commands, but it only types strange things, for example a - where there should be a / or such things.
my Sketch:

/*
  Arduino Programs Blink

  This sketch demonstrates the Keyboard library.

  For Leonardo and Due boards only.

  When you connect pin 2 to ground, it creates a new window with a key
  combination (CTRL-N), then types in the Blink sketch, then auto-formats the
  text using another key combination (CTRL-T), then uploads the sketch to the
  currently selected Arduino using a final key combination (CTRL-U).

  Circuit:
  - Arduino Leonardo, Micro, Due, LilyPad USB, or Yún
  - wire to connect D2 to ground

    // do nothing until pin 2 goes low

  Keyboard.releaseAll();

  Keyboard.write(KEY_BACKSPACE);

  Keyboard.println("void setup() {");
  Keyboard.println("//nothing to set úp");
  Keyboard.println("}");
  Keyboard.println();
  Keyboard.println("void loop() {");
  Keyboard.println("Esplora.writeRGB(255,0,0);");
  Keyboard.print("delay(3000);");
  // 3000 ms is too long. Delete it:
  for (int keystrokes = 0; keystrokes < 6; keystrokes++) {
    delay(500);
    Keyboard.write(KEY_BACKSPACE);
  }
  // make it 1000 instead:
  Keyboard.println("1000);");
  Keyboard.println("Esplora.writeRGB(0,0,0);");
  Keyboard.println("delay(1000);");
  Keyboard.println("}");
  // tidy up:
  Keyboard.press(ctrlKey);
  Keyboard.press('t');
  delay(100);
  Keyboard.releaseAll();
  delay(3000);
  // upload code:
  Keyboard.press(ctrlKey);
  Keyboard.press('u');
  delay(100);
  Keyboard.releaseAll();

  // wait for the sweet oblivion of reprogramming:
  while (true);
}

EDIT: I solved it by using the new feature to set keyboard layout
