3,839 Points[Console Foundation] How do I type a tilde (~)
I cant seem to find the ~ on my keyboard and googling it was not very fruitful. I need to use it apparently for navigating my directories in the console.
Thanks to whoever can help me.

9,481 PointsI ran into a similar problem: I'm using the german QWERTZ layout on a mac keyboard. I don't have a "Alt Gr" on this so I can't create a ~ or | on the treehouse console.
Any trick or way to change my keyboard layout?

A quick Google for OS X keyboard layout turned up this tutorial as it's first result, it should get you pointed in the right direction

9,481 PointsThanks, but I was looking for a way to change the layout style just for the terminal but leaving the rest of my computer as usual.
Something like kbdconfig or loadkeys?!
