To get a backslash \ I found I could use the 'backtick' key (to the left of the Z on my Mac Keyboard) on both keyboards I tried (the backslash is in this position on a Windows keyboard).Īs regards the tilde ~ (key to left of Z + shift on the Mac), I found that on one keyboard I could get it at the position of ± (shift on key to left of 1) whereas on the other keyboard it was in the position of the pipe (shift on key to extreme left of ASD row).
So the answer will depend on the keyboard. Thought it might help someone else.įirst I should say that since posting I have tried an emulator on a Mac with a different keyboard (desktop rather than laptop) and discovered I didn't have the same problem with the backslash (although I did with other characters). I'm answering my own question because I couldn't find an answer that worked for me anywhere else and finally found it by accident.
