In contrast, on the Spanish keyboard, backslash is AltGr º
Scaled onto a US 104-key keyboard, that's the same physical keys as
right-alt `
The pipe, OTOH is AltGr 1 (right-alt 1)
So the original person who pointed out how much the layout matters had a very
valid point. (Programming, or even working from a command line must be
tedious for a lot of the world. cd [shift-7] usr [shift-7] local [shift-7] a
[AltGr º][space] name [AltGr º][space] with [AltGr º][space] spaces )
Gah.
