Default Keyboard Shortcut on JIS Layout

JIS (Japanese) Keyboard Layout doesn't have the '\' (backslash) key. How about '¥'?

    I hope 1P can detect keyboard layout and set different default shortcut for different layout.

    Hi, @EdwardShaw.

    Are you able to use the ⌥¥ (Option-¥) key combination to input the Backslash character? Here's one place that's suggested:

    I hope that works. :)

    I know I can type \ in that way, but command-option-¥ doesn't work for 1P mini.

    On english keyboard, command-option-\ is the keyboard shortcut for 1P mini and command-\ is fill the sign in form.

    However, even if command-option-¥ worked for 1P mini, the option is always pressed for this combination, then how to fill the sign in? ...

    Or vice versa.

    @sjk All keyboard shortcut on OS X can only be keys available directly on the layout, '\' is not in the Japanese layout, so it doesn't work at all. That's why I'm suggesting using '¥' instead of '\' for default shortcut only if JIS layout is detected.

    Hi, @EdwardShaw.

    Thanks for clarifying this. I've filed a request for your suggestion to use '¥' instead of '\' in default shortcuts when the JIS keyboard layout is detected.
