Is it an Apple kbd, or a 'windows' one. I use Ukelele to make custom keyboard layouts. Show 1 more comment. Active Oldest Votes. Now I've persuaded it to show like that I can't 'break' it again, it seems to stick so far.

Improve this answer. Tetsujin Tetsujin You have a keyboard with the extra key next to z that El Capitan will not recognize as ISO, even when you use the various remedies in m10lmac.

Only a tiny number of users have problems with ISO keyboards, so I don't see how this would be a "bug". No change. In all other respects the machine appears to behave as it ought. Same issue occurs on both High Sierra or Mojave, until you tap the Shift key. I still say 'bug'. Answer edited. Dec 23, PM. May be a lot of variants, e. Romanian Standard keylayout also pushed one of these slashes at the next, option level, which is entirely logical as long as the zero and one level are occupied by other chars.

I also think he uses a keylayout, which obturates those slashes and zero level, and pushes them upwards. I think this is valid for some apps only, the ones having their custom shortcuts, like Xpress or InDesign. Thanks for yru answer. Dec 24, AM. Well, well, on this occasion I found that Danish keylayout requires shift-alt-7 for backslash.

This was not enough for me in Ubuntu After that, the keyboard combinations in your answer worked for me. Did you gave a try to Keyboard-configuration? If you want to enter a slash, a simple vertical line or a mirrored slash on the Apple Mac, then you need certain key combinations.

The slash, which is also known as a slash and is used, for example, as a divided symbol, as well as the backslash or the vertical line pipe can all be entered under macOS in combination with the 7 key on the Mac keyboard. In addition to entering data on Apple computers, you will also find instructions for entering data under Microsoft Windows below. This is the easiest key combination because this special character is already drawn in on the Mac keyboard.

Just like on the Windows keyboard on the PC, the character is entered with the Shift key and the 7-number key. The slash is therefore a simple second assignment of this key; also under macOS from Apple. If you want to enter a backslash on the Mac keyboard, another key is added to the combination shown above.
