It works for me (Far 3.0.5188).
It may be some Far macro or even another application that intercept that key combination.

More specifics: it works when you don't run FAR as local Administrator. It does NOT work when you run it as Administrator.

I always run Far as Administrator.

what keyboard layout is used by local administrator. in some layouts (uk for example) \-key is not \-symbol.

Here is the video of me downloading the latest msi, installing on Win10, and running it with default config as a regular user and it works. Then running it 2 ways as an admin, and neither works. The local admin user has US kb layout, and I'm definitely seeing "\" when I hit that key, which can be seen in this video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/r9nzsrerxat6eg1/2018-04-26_16-16-22.mp4?dl=0

My UAC settings are default Win10.

What is a good way to troubleshoot this?

I also tried toggling the "CtrlKeyShortcutsDisabled" setting in the properties, tried running in compatibility mode with Win7 and Win8, tried "use legacy mode" - nothing works as long as I run it as admin.

Non-admin mode: CtrlBackSlash
Admin mode: nothing - the popup doesn't come up

Figured it out: 1Password v7 for Windows is blocking Ctrl+\ for itself globally, to bring up its interface when you have an active web browser window open. If you have another window, it's simply blocking the Ctrl+\ and does nothing. The immediate solution is to reassign 1Password to use another shortcut key.
