How to write out a NORMAL tilde sign (~) in Mac?
I switched to Mac recently. The only thing that's disturbing me until now is the missing of the tilde sign (~). The closest thing I achieved to this sign is the accent tilde (˜). My passwords are not satisfied with that second little tilde sign.
I'm using a U.S International PC keyboard layout.
How do I make the tilde sign work on my Mac?
You type the accent tilde (shift `) then space: ~
You might consider switching "U.S. International PC layout" to "U.S. layout"
On my U.S. layout keyboard it works to use shift
+\
(button next to left shift, see the screenshot). I believe the same button is above the enter key on MacBooks from other countries.
On a French, Spanish or German Mac keyboard,
type ⌥+N to write the ~
character then space for normal tilde or n for tilde over n.
On a Finnish Mac keyboard layout (probably applies to some other international keyboard layouts as well) the tilde can be produced with the key with the symbols ^¨. That is on the left side of Enter and below the Backspace key.
When pressing Alt ^¨ and space the tilde ~
appears.
