> The path separator needed to be a key that does not require Shift to type Give these people a Nordic keyboard (it’s Alt+Gr plus one of the keys that is hardest to press while holding Alt+Gr).

It's AltGr+8 on French keyboards. I think the backslash is not available without modifiers on most keyboard layouts, but US-centrism in decision making was strong back then.

  I switched to EURKey since I figured I type code more than emails in languages that use umlauts or accents. It takes some getting used to (even more when coming from AZERTY) but it makes me so much more productive. No more cursing at CTRL+] hotkeys. It's included in most Linuxes and KDE and the homepage has a download for Windows and Mac as well as a nice keymap: https://eurkey.steffen.bruentjen.eu/ https://eurkey.steffen.bruentjen.eu/

  On Scando Mac it's Shift-Option-7. Gives new meaning to "three-fingered salute".
