In NetHack, the backslash (\) serves the following purposes:

  • \ character represents a throne.
  • \ is used for drawing diagonal rays.
  • Press \ to view your current knowledge about identified items.
  • In a menu, pressing \ deselects all items on the current page.
  • A French-Canadian keyboard layout will prevent the backslash command from working, due to requiring a tricky manipulation that is not processed properly in most Windows terminals - you may need to change your keyboard layout to a US layout and restart NetHack, or else play the game via a Linux tty (which handles the French-Canadian layout correctly) or a graphical port.
