 Hello! I have a Macbook Pro with an US keyboard. But I always use ABNT2 as my default layout. I can basically do everything with key combinations, but I'm a programmer and I really need a way to use "|" (pipe). I installed Karabiner, but I just can't find the proper keycode to make my replacement work. I want to put pipe instead of  € (which is Option+E in my current layout). Anyone please can help me?

The install of Karabiner should have come with Karabiner-EventViewer as well.
If you try typing the pipe on a normal ANSI or ISO keyboard, it will come through as "backslash" with the flag:"left_shift" or "right_shift"
If you are okay with that key, then simply rebind a key to "backslash" and then use shift with that key.
If you prefer to only be able to type pipe and not backslash, then you will need to write a complex modification that replaces a specific key with
- that key, when used without shift
- "backslash", when used with shift.
