Apart from @m4573r answer, you can type ` and ~ by just push and hold the key for longer than 1 second.

it will appear like this

You can always do it with its Alt code: Alt+96 for the grave accent, and Alt+126 for the tilda.

If you want to use those accents in combination of other letters, you have mainly 3 solutions:

  • Use another key combination to change your layout/input language,
  • Learn by heart all alt codes for those accentuated letters,
  • Use a Autohotkey script to remap your keys to avoid the ` one.

  • Thanks, Microsoft may provide an easy alternative method to insert these characters when it use that button for switching keyboard layout. I am looking for such method Sep 26, 2012 at 17:07
  • Also worth mentioning is that some editors may have an insert symbol option, allowing to click the characters from list and copy it to clipboard.
