How do I find the backslash on the Mac keyboard
Find Backslash on the Mac keyboard with German Layout ?
This requires a key combination consisting of three buttons. The dedicated Mac user now probably wonders why I need a backslash – exactly, under macOS you simply don’t need backslash, but if you use a virtual Windows machine, or you work in the company via RDS on a Windows terminal server, then it can happen that you have to access a CIFS share, just several backslashs are needed, for example, to perform access to windows share using windows explorer like \\srv01\fileshare.
On the Mac Keyboard, the backslash is hidden behind a keyboard shortcut:
[alt]+[shift]+[7]
- Press [alt] and hold the button.
- In addition, press the [Shift] key and hold it down as well.
- Press the button [7] WOW here’s the backslash!
