In the context mentioned I think pressing the right alt key would not  
help producing the \. It's default or STANDARD value is that of the  
corresponding left key.

I have set my only alt key to "(quote) none" (original value was meta)  
and let the cmd key be super, and also the remaining others be what  
they are. This gives me the opportunity to use the alt key as  
introductory key to switch the keyboard layout from the visible to the  
"alternate" layout, i.e. that, which produces \, {, }, «, », etc.
