Tilde on X Window with Italian keyboard

April 29th, 2009

If you are a C/C++ programmer and use Italian keyboard you know the missing of ~ char.
I know you can use ALT+126(numeric pad) but that’s very painful on laptop.
I casually discover that under X many terminal emulator such as xterm, urxvt accept a convenience shortcut:
ALTGR+ì gives you the tilde ~

Another very important character in the shell programming is the `(ALT+96).
ALTGR+’ gives you the `

That works on console too.
