Get a macro pad and configure one button to type a forward slash.
How do you type URLs using that keyboard layout?
Shift+7 feels wrong for some reason, so I currently tend to just send my pinky on a kamikaze mission towards the numpad hoping I hit /. Sometimes I hit numlock, sometimes I hit *.
Even if I made a compose key "shortcut" via ~/.XCompose it'd still be more work than what I'm doing already.
Macro pad could be a solution, I have considered it beforehand for other purposes tbh
