    If you choose Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts and click on Summarize it will create, save and automatically display the file of all the shortcut options.

    If you then chose Edit > Find > Find... and enter \ a search will not turn up the shortcut source, (although if you enter / it will find its source).

    This indicates that the \ key cannot be re-programmed for a shortcut.

    Sorry about that.

    Which application are you using? The square bracket keys usually work.

    [ decrease brush size

    ] increase brush size

    Sir, I'm using photoshop CC 2017, My current square bracket keys working well, just want to replace them by using "\" to increase brush size which is used by my Zbrush 3D. I feel not so easy to reach my "]". So how can I tweak if those and such as "\" when banned by  "shortcut is already be use by the application". I cannot even find out my "\" is for which function now.

    Thanks!!!
