I, I've recently changed my computer, and it happens that the new one doesn't have numpad emulator. So when I need to write one slash chord, the only possibility I actually have is going to "Chord options" (ALT+F5) and writing it from there (it's kind of annoying) right?

What about the slash on the regular keyboard that is normally paired with the "?" key?

It doesn't work for me. I'm using a spanish keyboard, and my slash symbol is paired with the number "7" key. So, if I enter, for example:
G/
I get G seventh on BIAB; if I enter,
D/F#
The program doesn't recognize anything.

What about using the key that has the question mark on it. That might work. For example D?F#?

In all due respects, this is not a BIAB shortcoming, right ? It's a computer / hardware issue... but I'd agree, typing it in is much faster than using the chord editor.

It doesn't work either

Of course, I'm not trying to suggest anything like that, just looking for an easy way to avoid this small annoyance (I just make an extensive use of slash chords in BIAB, and having to enter them through ALT + F5 is just that, a little bit annoying)

Cerio, I've looked up the Spanish keyboard layout and the yellow highlighted key is the one where "/" occurs on the US keyboard layout.  It would be worthwhile trying that key (whatever it's got on it). If that doesn't work, it would be a good idea to create a post about this issue in the PG Music Spanish Forum (located under the PG Music wishlist forums). Regards, Noel EDITP.S. One other thing I'd try is to simply work my way through every key on the keyboard. Sooner or later, you'll strike the one that does the job. Since BIAB doesn't distinguish between a key where shift is held down and the same key where shift is not held down, you'd only need to check the keys without using shift. (When all else fails, trial and error is often the only way to proceed.)

Solved! I tried with the keys you suggested without success, then I followed trial and error strategy: it was the one with "Ç" and "}" symbols. It may seem obvious, but I just didn't thought about Noel's idea  Thanks everybody!

Something to cross post the solution in the Spanish forum comes to mind now...

I am glad you got it Cerio.
Interesting point here about keys, symbols and language. And although so far no one has asked about this in the Spanish forum while I have been the host, It would be good to have it in mind in a given case.
I have a dual boot PC with Windows XP and Windows 7. Since I have students in both languages, I did set English and Spanish as language options in both OS. I can switch easily between them with the windows default key sequence (left) Alt+Shift.
I can note Cerio, in his Spanish Keyboard managed to get the slash with the keys corresponding to the symbols 'Ç' and '}' which does not work in my Spanish keyboard. Since it have numpad I use the devoted '/' key, however also I can get the slash with Shift+7 while Cerio can not. From this I infer maybe there is some relationship between keys and symbols layout and the region variants of the same input language. In my case I use Spanish International Sort which possibly result in different keyboard layouts that for example Spanish Latin or Spanish Traditional. I usually select input languages when I am asked during the OS installing. But at least in Windows XP I think it is perfectly feasible to do so later with the Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Language -> Details -> Text service and input language. Once there the user can Add or Remove languages or modify them up to finding a language input variation working well.
Maybe it would work for you Cerio. If you try it, please let us know about results.
Thanks to everyone for throwing light on the matter.
Carlos

Hi, Carlos, nice to see you here It's strange, because I'm using the Spanish International layout too, but as I said, I only can get the slash symbol within BIAB presing the "ç" key. I've tried with other language layouts (Spanish Traditional, Spanish argentinian, English, Englis USA, etc..) with no sucess. BTW, my keyboard is organized exactly the same as the one pictured in Noel's post and I'm using W7.
