On German keyboards you need to press AltGr-ß which will drive you mad sooner or later. As an example app which offers such an alias translation, mIRC can be mentioned.
To get rid of this annoyance I am using an AHK script which sends a backslash instead of the pressed char when cursor is located in command line. In my case it's the #, which I hardly use and is easily accessible as well.
Code: Select all
#IfWinActive, ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD
$#::
ControlGetFocus, Focus
If (Focus = "Edit1")
SendInput, \
Else
SendRaw, #
Return
