Yes, that is correct .

Do I understand it correctly when I write that you normally use "Option+Slash" to enter a backslash on your keyboard?
That would explain why updating the keyboard bindings makes it possible to type a backslash.
I'm not sure how we could fix this issue in a way that wouldn't break existing bindings for folks with an english keyboard (as just updating the default keybindings would likely upset those people).
