cheers,

And for the obvious useless solution -- Remove it from the keyboard hehe

While you can certainly remove the mapping for the backslash key in the system keyboard.xml file, if you later re-install/upgrade XBMC, the mapping for this key will return. It is better to override this mapping in a user keyboard.xml (wiki) file placed in ~/.xbmc/userdat/keymaps directory with the following contents, which disables this key:

Code:

<keymap>
  <global>
    <keyboard>
      <backslash>noop</backslash>
    </keyboard>
  </global>
</keymap>

Works very well, just copy and paste the contents of above message,
nothing else needed and upload to kodi.
List of directories to upload to
can be found by following the above link keyboard.xml

LibreELEC/OpenELEC /storage/.kodi/userdata/
