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.

I don't know why, but after <kbd>F6</kbd> the <kbd>~</kbd> symbol on keyboard back to work again. – ton – 2016-02-15T14:09:51.893

4F6 is actually outputting something like ^[[17~ (escape-leftbracket-1-7-~). – Paused until further notice. – 2010-09-18T08:07:35.790
F5 worked on my HP pavilion dv6700, not F6 – None – 2012-03-08T15:42:35.273

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

Hold down together:
For the full list of Unicode codes please refer to the following link:
https://unicode-table.com/en/#control-character
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.

6The name of the symbol is "tilde" in case that helps you find references to it. – Paused until further notice. – 2010-09-18T07:47:21.097
