Its >easy in the console, its there, but not in X. Not exactly sure what the nature of the problem is. I'm typing this in an "xterm" window, and I'm able to type '~' just fine. It may have something to do with the definition of the keyboard you're using -- XF86Setup has a provision for selecting what kind of keyboard you're using, and you may have an unfortunate choice in /etc/XF86Config. Here's what's in the appropriate stanza of /etc/XF86Config on my machine: Section "Keyboard" Protocol "Standard" XkbRules "xfree86" XkbModel "pc102" XkbLayout "us" EndSection You might find "xmodmap" of interest or use, as well.
