How can I type tilde (~) in the Ubuntu terminal with a Norwegian keyboard?

Question

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?

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

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

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 – user122023 Mar 8 '12 at 15:42
