How to type special symbol on Cloud Shell with Mac EU keyboard?

Considering this context:

How to type special symbols like | (pipe), \(backslash) ?

Normally, on MacOS, we can use ALT + SHIFT + L for | (pipe), and ALT + SHIFT + / for \ (backslash).

But on Google Cloud Shell, it's not working. How can we do ?

Here is the solution:

  • Open Cloud Shell
  • Click on settings icon at left side (gearing icon)
  • Select Terminal Preferences > Keyboard > Alt-Gr key
  • Choose Left + Alt or Right + Alt

You're done.

Now, ALT + SHIFT + L will work like a charm on your favorite Google Cloud Shell.
