They should really try that on a German keyboard. On mine, backslash is not even listed on the keys as an icon. (Same for Swedish, Norwegian, or Dutch, I think).

Then you have a non-standard keyword. Standard layout has \ on the same key as ß (the base letter) and ? (the shift variant).

How do you type paths in Windows? Do you use the forward slash instead?
