Hello!

I just tried to type tilde with on-screen keyboard and no luck.

I suppose it is a shortcut to open/close the assistance tools, so - HOW do I type simple tilde, that wavy symbol, hmm?

It will of course depend on the keyboard layout selected at installation. My layout is English (UK , Extended Winkeys).

with that layout I click either of the space keys and the hash ( # ) becomes a tilde ( ~ ). I have just used the onscreen keyboard to type those characters.

I am using 12.10 but this should work in 12.04.

Regards.

:KS OK. I have the default US layout.

Does UK keyboard layout really have two space bars ?
