Dear people who know all these things.
I have a US keyboard on my laptop with UK (or possibly Irish) mapping. As a result nothing I do will give me the pipe symbol | without copy paste. Can I create some kind of shortcut keystroke to get it? HALP!

@Antiqueight I think on wondows, you can press Alt an then type 124 or 0124 to use the Alt code.

@cianhan That gets me the Euro symbol. Example now:

@Antiqueight @cianhan
Alt-Right + tilde (the key to the left of "1")

@faduda @cianhan
That's ~

I have tried all the semi "obvious" ones but I'm stuck. If it's possible to remap a key, for example so that I remap the ¦ to the pipe I want.....

@Antiqueight @faduda @cianhan On linux you can remap keys (how to do so depends on Wayland vs X). On Windows, use AutoHotKey to remap.
