I am not sure what exact command you want to map, since there are a
couple of C-\ commands within Vim available. But even if your window
manager grabs C-\ you can still map another key to send the C-\ as the
window manager won't receive the key from inside Vim. So

nnoremap <f6> <c-\>

will make the <f6> key an alias to the <c-\>
