I want to have something written in the top-left corner and top-right corners of my document. So I want some text aligned to the right, some to the left, at the same height. I could do it with spamming the space bar, but then if I change the font size or anything it will be broken again.
Is there any way to do this more neatly?
They seem to have updated the possible keyboard shortcuts. With the new keyboard shortcuts, it also works now on my keyboard with the German layout.

I found a workaround.
Help menu.Search all menus menu.
Put the cursor in the paragraph. It's not necessary to select the whole thing. In fact, you shouldn't "select" anything.
Use the right-align tool. Either the right-align button the menu bar, the menu (Format > Align > Right), or the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+R).
See my before and after screen shots below.

Make sure you have
View > Show rulerchecked.In the ruler above your document, click where you want the right-most character of the right-aligned section to be. Then select the option that pops up: "Add right tab-stop". (In the example image in step 3, it is all the way at the right margin.)
Then, on that line, type your left-most text as normal, then hit the Tab key until your cursor is located at the tab-stop you just created and type your text. You should notice that it fills in from the right. Now you shouldn't have issues when you change your font.
