Unable to enter backslash
Hello,
Since WebStorm 2020.3.1, I'm unable to enter backSlash with Mac french keyboard. I use Shift+Option+/ and it worked...but now, it depends on cursor position and enter "return", "div", or something else....
As inverted quote already did not work (and does not seems to be fixed someday), then now \ not working....editor seems to become quite difficult to use....
Could you please try to use your product with french Mac keyboard or give some help for that ?

Hi there,

I have the same problem, and deleting both the CyclicExpand shortcuts did not help, sadly.
Besides that: Backslash is not the only problem, also ` {}[]`.
This is only an issue in the terminal, but extremely annoying.
When typing `/\()` in the terminal, I get `/((((((()` - so `\` seems to somehow repeat the `(` 7 times. Fun fact: `\`is located on the `7`.
Any suggestions?

Nik what OS is it, what system keyboard layout do you use?
Hi Elena,
I'm on MacOS Big Sur (ver 11.4). Keyboard layout is Danish.
PS. I use the IdeaVim plugin, but also tried to disable this.
Must be caused by Use Option as Meta key in Preferences | Tools | Terminal. It has been added in 2021.2 and it's on by default. Just disable it to be able to type characters with
Option+key.Excellent - that's it! Thank you :-)
As a lifetime Windows user I'm using external Windows keyboard for productivity, and I've successfully imported shortcuts to Mac book M1.
Pretty much all the shortcuts works well, but had a situation with \ character.
In my case, I've had Context info reserved, with Alt-Q combination (Windows keyboard)
After deleting Context info reserved shortcut, I've resolved back slash issue
