I use two keyboard layouts, Spanish (ISO) and Polish. The character \ is not available in the Spanish layout, but it is in the Polish layout (in the "backslash" position). So drawing inspiration from #697 (comment) I made a complex modification that changes the keyboard layout, presses "backslash", then changes the keyboard layout again. This places a \ when doing right_option + grave_accent_and_tilde (the key to the left of 1), as I want.
This achieves what I want but works erratically: the modified key input sometimes outputs \ and sometimes ç (which is what's in the "backslash" position in the Spanish keyboard, not in the Polish keyboard).
Is there any way to fix it? Maybe by introducing a little delay between the key_codes in the "to" section? I tried drawing inspiration from pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements#2664 but couldn't get any working code :( Thank you!
