# was also a problem on one keyboard, mapping to the \ (but US keyboards map # differently to UK keyboards. The other keys that mapped differently were ' and the which were interchanged on one keyboard (corresponding to Windows mapping). Make its boolean value true and Enjoy typing with. To get a backslash \ I found I could use the 'backtick' key (to the left of the Z on my Mac Keyboard) on both keyboards I tried (the backslash is in this position on a Windows keyboard).Īs regards the tilde ~ (key to left of Z + shift on the Mac), I found that on one keyboard I could get it at the position of ± (shift on key to left of 1) whereas on the other keyboard it was in the position of the pipe (shift on key to extreme left of ASD row). Select your AVD and edit it and add keyboard support under Hardware section. So the answer will depend on the keyboard. Note that this might be different on your Mac if you have customized the modifier key mappings in System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Keys While were on.
Thought it might help someone else.įirst I should say that since posting I have tried an emulator on a Mac with a different keyboard (desktop rather than laptop) and discovered I didn't have the same problem with the backslash (although I did with other characters).
I'm answering my own question because I couldn't find an answer that worked for me anywhere else and finally found it by accident. Most people are familiar with a computer using Windows operating system.
