This is to solve an issue where you use a non-apple european keyboard with the US keyboard layout in macOS where the Tilde key is in the wrong place.
This is the process for the Logitec MX Keys Mini
- Connect the keyboard (bluetooth)
- Make sure the keyboard is in PC mode (hold fn + p for 3 seconds)
- Go through the keyboard wizard and at the end select the European ISO... layout
- Switch the keyboard to Mac mode (hold fn + o for 3 seconds)
- Tilde should work
If this doesn't work:
- delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.keyboardtype.plist
- reboot
- try above again
Maybe someone finds it helpful, but I couldn't get used to the fact, that tilde was on the right to the
Shift
key, but I get used that it's above theTab
. To swap them, hold "fn+U" for around 3 seconds and it will be changed. I found it somewhere over Reddit, but no docs to this behaviour attached.
