    If you know what a nordic keyboard layout looks like, you’d probably prefer backslash. Since I moved to Linux a year ago I’ve been struggling to find the easiest way to forward slash. Shift + 7? Or numpad / with my right pinky?

      Get a macro pad and configure one button to type a forward slash.

      How do you type URLs using that keyboard layout?

        Shift+7 feels wrong for some reason, so I currently tend to just send my pinky on a kamikaze mission towards the numpad hoping I hit /. Sometimes I hit numlock, sometimes I hit *.
        Even if I made a compose key “shortcut” via ~/.XCompose it’d still be more work than what I’m doing already.

        Macro pad could be a solution, I have considered it beforehand for other purposes tbh
