Hi Bonchine. It all depends on what type of computer you have. If you’re using a Windows computer, you should probably remap your keyboard. It’s well worth the time to do this. You can Google the instructions, which may vary somewhat depending on whether you have XP, Vista, 7, etc.

I have mine remapped so that it toggles (I use the default hot key combination of Left Shift and Left Alt to toggle) between EN—English (United States) and ES—Spanish (Mexico). When it’s set to ES, the way to produce “\” is: hit the Right Alt + the key in the corner right below ESC, with the tilde (~) and the accent grave (`) on it.

Type "alt gr" key plus the "?" key. Does this work?
