Here is a palette that does the slashing when you select a character and press the button:
CreatePalette[{Button["Slash it!", NotebookWrite[InputNotebook[],
FromCharacterCode[
Join[ToCharacterCode[
ToString[NotebookRead[InputNotebook[]]]], {824}]]]]}];
It uses the unicode character for a combining solidus (824
). This adds the slash to whatever character is printed in front of it.
