Considering this context:
How to type special symbols like |
(pipe), \
(backslash) ?
Normally, on MacOS, we can use ALT + SHIFT + L
for |
(pipe), and ALT + SHIFT + /
for \
(backslash).
But on Google Cloud Shell, it's not working. How can we do ?
You can use the asterisk on the numeric keypad, or you can press Shift 8 to get the asterisk you see above the number 8 on the keyboard. Thank goodness this key is also known as the Star key because so few people can spell or pronounce “asterisk.”
Here is the solution:
You're done.
Now, ALT + SHIFT + L
will work like a charm on your favorite Google Cloud Shell.
Update 02/2021:
There is a new setting for tat.
Alt is meta
That solved it for me.
