To change your keyboard go to system preferences / keyboard / input sources click on the + symbol choose english and then british.
Hope that works for you aswell.

10,148 PointsI'm on a French keyboard and the combination 'alt + n' for tilde ~ doesn't work in the console. Outside the console it works, but only when space bar is typed after 'alt + n' (to confirm the character, this is normal on French keyboards).
Anyone have a solution (other than buying a new keyboard)?

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 84,738 PointsWhat do you mean it doesn't work - you successfully created a ~ character. What are you trying to do in the console that isn't working?
