Update of bug #50542 (project octave):

                  Status:                 Invalid => Confirmed              
             Open/Closed:                  Closed => Open

Follow-up Comment #4:

There is a keybinding mechanism, builtin to the console widget we use for the
command window, but we currently only use the default keyboard translator.
Ideally we would use this mechanism to map special keyboards such as JIS, but
(i) I don't have such keyboard at hand for testing (ii) I am not willing to
learn Japanese :-).

@Anonymous: If you would be willing to work on this, and you already have a
working Macports environment to build a development version of Octave, then I
can help you.

As for documenting the workaround, I don't thing the startup page is the best
place (No one reads it). Maybe posting a message on the Help mailing list with
a meaningful title, e.g. "Backslash on Japanese Mac keyboards", is much more
efficient. 

Reopening the report.
