How to access \ key and where to find information on Envy 17 laptop keyboard????

[Amazone]

Just bought a new HP laptop.

Never saw a keyboard like this.

Around L there are 3 signs. I already found the way to access some but not all:

> shift + Fn

< Fn

But how to access \ ?????

I see a few posts about this on the internet and no solutions.

Around = there is a sign to the right: ~. I tried Alt+= but that opens a box "enter your equation"

As you know, Belgium is a multilingual country.

Which keyboard does the laptop have?

QWERTZ or QWERTY?

What is the installed keyboard language?

You have provided only the generic identification of your laptop. How about providing the specific by posting the System SKU that is in the system information dialogue?

HP has produced and brought to market more than a thousand different models of notebooks and desktop PCs over the years.



It is difficult to help you if we don't know the hardware configuration of the laptop that you own.

Method #1: If the notebook will boot into Windows, you can retrieve your Product Number by pressing Fn + Esc key.

Method #2: Press the power button and immediately tap the F10 key to invoke the BIOS. In the Main section, you will find the Product number or Product ID. Post that in your next reply in your thread.

Method #3: Press the power button and immediately tap the F2 key.

Method #4: If powering on is not an option, take a look at the bottom of the laptop for the label with the product name and product number. For a desktop PC, look at the rear for the label.

Do not include the serial number of your HP product when you identify as it is not needed. 
If your laptop has HP Hardware Diagnostics UEFI version 10.3.0.0, there is a System Information section that also has the Product ID.
We need that information, along with the installed Operating System information to help you.

Thank you for your quick response.

I did not get an e-mail notification of your answer so sorry for late reaction.

Identification:

AZERTY

language dutch (belgium)

Windows 11 24h2

I did not think all this was necessary because it is about the fysical keyboard .

It is the marked items I cannot open.

New issue : no ,connection for ethernet cable?????

Is this a new rule?

The request for identification was because I needed to know  the actual specific hardware configuration of your laptop.

That is a interesting keyboard.  

I will have to ask HP internally where to find a guide on how to use the special keys.

I have always wondered why they have not been readily available.

It has been about 12-15 years since an Ethernet port that has  been common on anything but Enterprise (business) class laptops.

Since it is the weekend, please be patient while I ask for more information.

Thank you.

I just discovered the notifications of your answers got in the spam box

A colleague of mine, @IT_WinSec,  has suggested that these may work.

" \ is RIGHT-ALT (alt gr) and \

~ is RIGHT-ALT (alt gr) and ~ but also needs a SPACE."

[Amazone]

Alt GR and L gives nothing so no way to get  \ (copied from your post)

Alt gr + = (twice) gives ~~ then you can go back en get ~

I am still waiting for a response from HP Netherland.

I tried contacting the dutch helpdesk myself.

They asked all sort of things twice and finally did not answer.

Will try again later.
