    I bought a wireless keyboard and mouse but can't find the right keyboard layout. i can't get the backslash symbol to appear. as you can see, the backslash symbol is on the z key but I can't get it to appear. Have tried alternate layouts and pressing AltGR+Z. It's driving me mad :eek: Someone put me out of my misery please

    Must be a Fn key combo or something cos I see one of the keys has four characters!

    The keys affected by an Fn combo are written in blue...

    Why not just map

    '\' to SHIFT+Z
    '|' to SHIFT+CTRL+Z

    as suggested by your keycaps? Caps lock key is kinda handy at times...

    Yeah, I know that. I meant maybe it was Fn + function key (whatever one) plus the relevant key you want to activate?
