OK. So it's the (NS) Emacs.app.

So it should work to access C-\ – although I don't see any sense in  
toggling an input method inside Emacs, it's better done with Mac OS X.  
(On my German keyboard \ is Option-Shift-7 or Option-/.)

Here are my settings:

mac-command-modifier is a variable defined in `ns-win.el'.
Its value is super		;; seems useless without modifying the key map  
table accordingly

   This variable is an alias for `ns-command-modifier'.

Documentation:
This variable describes the behavior of the command key.
Set to control, meta, alt, super, or hyper means it is taken to be  
that key.


mac-control-modifier is a variable defined in `ns-win.el'.
Its value is control

   This variable is an alias for `ns-control-modifier'.

Documentation:
This variable describes the behavior of the control key.
Set to control, meta, alt, super, or hyper means it is taken to be  
that key.


mac-function-modifier is a variable defined in `ns-win.el'.
Its value is none		;; don't want to get driven insane

   This variable is an alias for `ns-function-modifier'.

Documentation:
This variable describes the behavior of the function key (on laptops).
Set to control, meta, alt, super, or hyper means it is taken to be  
that key.
Set to none means that the function key is not interpreted by Emacs at  
all,
allowing it to be used at a lower level for accented character entry.


mac-option-modifier is a variable defined in `ns-win.el'.
Its value is none		;; I clearly need it for typing many characters

   This variable is an alias for `ns-alternate-modifier'.

Documentation:
This variable describes the behavior of the alternate or option key.
Set to control, meta, alt, super, or hyper means it is taken to be  
that key.
Set to none means that the alternate / option key is not interpreted  
by Emacs
at all, allowing it to be used at a lower level for accented character  
entry.
