Binding \

[Victor239]

Is it possible to bind the \ key? If so what is the text value for it, because \ and backslash don't work.

I found https://github.com/jbensmann/mouseless/blob/main/keydefs.go but backslash still doesn't work for me. Any way to troubleshoot this?

You can run mouseless with the flag --debug, then it will show the names of the keys that you press, which looks like this when I press the backslash key (which is one of the keys next to Enter):

DEBU[0016] Pressed:  backslash (43)

So backslash should be right, could you share the logs if it also says backslash for you but still does not work?

Ah it's 102nd key for me. Google says it's for Keyboard Non-US \ and | which makes sense. Thanks for the help!

DEBU[0005] Pressed:  102nd (86)                         
DEBU[0005] Read from queue: {86 true false}             
DEBU[0005] Executing main.KeyBinding: {BaseBinding:{} KeyCombo:[86]} 
DEBU[0005] Keyboard: pressing 86
