Follow the installation and activation instructions for the U.S. Custom keyboard layout.
If you’re using macOS Sierra (10.12), install Karabiner Elements.
If you’re using macOS El Capitan (10.11) or lower, install Karabiner.
If you’re on macOS 10.8 or earlier, you'll still use KeyRemap4MacBook, also available at the Karabiner link.
If you installed Karabiner Elements, add a "simple modification" mapping
right_command
to non_us_backslash
.
If you installed Karabainer, edit and reload the private.xml file of Karabiner (formerly KeyRemap4MacBook) to contain the following:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
<item>
<name>Send ISO Section for right Command</name>
<identifier>private.send_iso_section_for_right_command</identifier>
<autogen>--KeyToKey-- KeyCode::COMMAND_R, KeyCode::UK_SECTION</autogen>
</item>
</root>
If you already have a private.xml, you should only paste in the <item>
element.

Ticky the box next to it. If you can't find it, use the search to narrow down the list. If you still can't find it, make sure you completed step 3 correctly.
