How to get Tilde (~) to work correctly in macOS

Raw

tildeOnMac.md

This is to solve an issue where you use a non-apple european keyboard with the US keyboard layout in macOS where the Tilde key is in the wrong place.

This is the process for the Logitec MX Keys Mini

Connect the keyboard (bluetooth)
Make sure the keyboard is in PC mode (hold fn + p for 3 seconds)
Go through the keyboard wizard and at the end select the European ISO... layout
Switch the keyboard to Mac mode (hold fn + o for 3 seconds)
Tilde should work

If this doesn't work:

delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.keyboardtype.plist
reboot
try above again

Thank you so much for this. In my case:

sudo rm -rf /Library/Preferences/com.apple.keyboardtype.plist
reboot

worked out. Using Logitech MX Keys Mini, M1 Max MBP16 on macOS Sequoia 15.5
