How to get Tilde (~) to work correctly in macOS
Raw
tildeOnMac.md

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
