Just like some other people I have problem with the keyboard in dosbox, more specifically the backslash "\".

I read a guide that had something to do with the version of the keyboard or something like that (Im not very technical and english isn't my native language), and that you should see if it was japanese, and then change it to HID or something like that. My keyboard doesn't seem to be japanese and it was already set to HID. So didn't get any help there.

The next thing I tried was to try to change they keys in dosbox (ctrl+F1),
and it seems I am able to change every key in there EXCEPT for the backslash. -_-
For exemple, if I try to change it so I get the backslash by pressing u, I get u´ instead of a backslash.

So, is there anyway to solve this problem? Because without the backslash Dosbox is pretty much useless for me.

Thanks in advance.

Why do you need the backslash "\" ?
Remember, if it comes to mount a path, you can use the "/" instead of as well.

In order to play a game I had to write some stuff in DosBox wich required "\". Tried to use / instead but didnt work....
