I am using Ubuntu terminal and want to type this:

sudo -H -u gitosis gitosis-init < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

However I am not able to find tilde (~) on my Norwegian keyboard.

Can anyone tell me how to type it?

F6 gave me ~ on my key board.

AltGr+¨ (umlaut, just below backspace), then (assuming the deadkey variant of the layout) Space.

Hold down together:

1. Ctrl + Shift + u - Underlined u should appear.
2. Release keys
3. Enter 7E (Unicode for ~)
4. Press Space

For the full list of Unicode codes please refer to the following link:

It may look too much, but it's the global solution for all languages and keyboard layouts ,)

~ refers to your home directory, so you can always type $HOME instead of ~ ... if you can find $ on your keyboard, that is!

Type the combination like Alt gr + (top right char, for me Ü, for you ^) and after typing hit "space".

Briefly: Type the combination and after hit space.
