Hello dear friends,

On Lenovo Ideapad 300 keyboards there is a key above Fn and to the right of Left Shift which can type \ (and | when pressed with Shift).

However, AutoHotkey can't recognize this key.
I tried ^\:: and ^|:: codes but nothing happens when I press Ctrl+\.
Would you please tell me what code I have to use for this key or whether there is another solution?

Loop 9
  OnMessage( 255+A_Index, "ScanCode" ) ; 0x100 to 0x108
Return

ScanCode( wParam, lParam ) {
 Clipboard := "SC" SubStr((((lParam>>16) & 0xFF)+0xF000),-2)
