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?

The name of the symbol is "tilde" in case that helps you find references to it. – Dennis Williamson Sep 18 '10 at 7:47

F6 gave me ~ on my key board.

F6 is actually outputting something like ^[[17~ (escape-leftbracket-1-7-~). – Dennis Williamson Sep 18 '10 at 8:07
F5 worked on my HP pavilion dv6700, not F6 – mateor Mar 8 at 15:42
