Keyboards are wonderful tools. From its creation to the present, they have allowed us to communicate with others, give free rein to our creativity and even develop in a work area. Did you know that there are even several types of keyboard with different functions?
You most likely have a QWERTY keyboard on your PC, named after the first few letters that appear on it. This is the more conventional version of keyboards, and it is very versatile. Not only does it allow you to type text or numbers, but you can also do things like adjust the volume on your Windows PC.
In the following sections we will explain what a backwards slash is and how you can do it with your keyboard if you have a Windows operating system in its versions 10, 8 or 7. You will see that this is a very easy process to carry out.
How can I do a backslash or backslash on my keyboard?
There are two ways to do a backward slash, also called a backslash, backslash, or backslash, on your keyboard. You will see that both are very simple, everything will depend on whether or not you have a numeric keypad attached to your keyboard. Depending on this, you can choose one or another methodology.
If you do not have a numeric keypad, this first way will be more useful. All you have to do is press on your keyboard the ‘Alt Gr’ key and the key to the left of the number 1 (which probably shows the ‘º’ symbol) simultaneously. If you’re in Word or some other writing space, you’ll see the symbol appear.
The second way will only work for you if you have a numeric keypad. In this case, what you will do is use the ASCII code to make the backslash. You only have to press the ‘Alt’ key followed by the number 92 written with your numeric keyboard, and again you will see how the inverted slash symbol appears.
As you can see, making a backslash or backslash on your keyboard is an easy task, even if the symbol does not appear explicitly on it. And it’s not the only symbol you can make with combinations of other keys. On the official Microsoft Support page there are many functions that you can do with keyboard shortcuts.
You should be aware that depending on how you have your keyboard set up, the keys might not display the symbol you expect when you press them. That is why it is of the utmost importance that you configure your keyboard so that you know where the symbols that you use most frequently in your day to day are located.
