solution sur un macbook pro + snow leopard : pressez les touches cmd+alt+8

Bonsoir

Hi, I know this post was a long time ago but I have just spent ages looking and reading all these posts. I hope this will help anyone getting to this stage that still has no joy! I have to use Function and the backslash key above the return key. (This does not work in Parallels though)

Are you using a MacBook Pro with a Belgian or French AZERTY keyboard? Do you really not get \ by doing option/alt + shift + : ? What do you get instead when you do that?

For me worked

Shift + Alt + Slash

German keyboard layout (QWERTZ). slash lokated on key Shift 7

rgds, Matthias

ALT + SHIFT + 7 (where slash is located) = \ (backslash)

I explained in one post "how to see various keys mapping in your MacOS" please follow the post (this will work for any keyboard format 😉).

And my hit and trial method (which was oldest post and someone posted it here but now shifted to devgeek.co 😀)

Hope it may help!

Try:

Shift + Alt + / = \

Shift + Alt + : works, but you need to use the Alt on the right of the space bar for some stupid reason...

What is your active keyboard layout? French? Something else?

Sorry, using French (France) keyboard on MacBook Pro.

What happens when you use the alt on the left of the space bar? They should be the same result on a Mac.
