Using special Keyboard keys as Bindkeys

Hi All,

I've tried using the below special Keyboard keys as Bindkeys, but the same is not working, kindly assist

hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>\" "leSetAllLayerVisible(nil) leSetLayerVisible(list(\"CO\" \"drawing\") t) hiRedraw()")
hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>`" "leSetAllLayerVisible(nil) leSetLayerVisible(list(\"NW\" \"drawing\") t) hiRedraw()")

Details of the KEYS

The idea is to turn on CO layer and turn off all the other layers when the \ key is pressed on the keyboard

The idea is to turn on NW layer and turn off all the other layers when the ` key is pressed on the keyboard

The below code which turns on M1 layer and turns off all the other layers when 1 key is pressed on the keyboard works fine

hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>1" "leSetAllLayerVisible(nil) leSetLayerVisible(list(\"M1\" \"drawing\") t) hiRedraw()")

Thanks

The first needs to be:

hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>\\" "leSetAllLayerVisible(nil) leSetLayerVisible(list(\"CO\" \"drawing\") t) hiRedraw()")

(i.e a double backslash). Otherwise the quote is escaped, and the two bindkeys will get messed up. Once I do that, both bind keys work fine.
