Except that \ is hard to type on most keyboards: C and \ are the two most distant keys on the most widespread keyboard layout (QWERTY), and on other keyboards \ requires pressing Shift or AltGr.I don't quite get how you reach that conclusion about the qwerty keyboard.On my ISO102 qwerty keyboard, \ is diagonally adjacent to left control (regardless of whether it's at its original position or on capslock), and there is another \ left of RET, so two keys above, one left of right control.With an ANSI keyboard, it's only available on one key, which is 3 keys above right control.
This is diverging more and more from the proposal, but: on smaller keyboards (laptops) there is typically only one control key (on the bottom left) and only \ key (near the right top).
