+seo_description: How to remap (§) section sign to (`) backslash on mac.
+---
+
+Got a new Macbook Pro with the start of my new job and I love it. Except. It did
+not come with and english keyboard. Now every time I try to type the backslash (\`)
+or tilde (\~)  instead I get "§" or "±" 😔. Lucky for me there are a bunch of people
+with the same issue.
+
+This base command to remap the key is:
+
+```shell
+$ hidutil property --set '{"UserKeyMapping":
+    [{"HIDKeyboardModifierMappingSrc":0x700000064,
+      "HIDKeyboardModifierMappingDst":0x700000035}]
+}'
+```
+
+but to make this survive a computer restart things get a little more complicated.
+For that you need you need a LaunchDaemon.
