I don't really watch Star Wars. I'm a more of a Trekkie gal.

Specifying paths with - would be its own special brand of hell.
Both works fine in Windows tho?
Used to not
Actually, from what I can tell in my brief 15-minute internet search, every version of Windows since NT has accepted both because DOS 2.0 supported both. The exception to this was Command Prompt. But, these days, it supports both. Not sure when they made that change in Command Prompt, but I think it's been that way since at least Windows 7.

Times change. You used to not be able to run Linux in Windows, but you can do that too.
Yeah, and I've tried that. It turns out it works even better if you throw away the Windows part.

If you know what a nordic keyboard layout looks like, you'd probably prefer backslash. Since I moved to Linux a year ago I've been struggling to find the easiest way to forward slash. Shift + 7? Or numpad / with my right pinky?
For me it's even worse. Forward slash is also Shift + 7 and backslash is AltGr + Γ?? I hate that computing is only optimized for US american layouts. Going by my keyboard, the filepath separator should probably be an ΓΆ.
The alt gr + Γ is probably the same for nordic keyboards, the one below A. It's <>\ for me, but afaik both < and > are also individual keys on a US keyboard. And then there's ~. But I guess you get used to dead keys.
Get a macro pad and configure one button to type a forward slash.
How do you type URLs using that keyboard layout?
Shift+7 feels wrong for some reason, so I currently tend to just send my pinky on a kamikaze mission towards the numpad hoping I hit /. Sometimes I hit numlock, sometimes I hit *.
Even if I made a compose key "shortcut" via ~/.XCompose it'd still be more work than what I'm doing already.
Macro pad could be a solution, I have considered it beforehand for other purposes tbh
