How do you type "`" or "~" when grave key is used to switch between keyboard languages?

Question

In window you can use grave key to switch between keyboard languages. How do you type grave and Tilda symbols after that?

Solution 1

Apart from @m4573r answer, you can type ` and ~ by just push and hold the key for longer than 1 second.

it will appear like this

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
```````````````

now you got the these characters :0

Solution 2

You can always do it with its Alt code: Alt+96 for the grave accent, and Alt+126 for the tilda.

If you want to use those accents in combination of other letters, you have mainly 3 solutions:

• Use another key combination to change your layout/input language,
• Learn by heart all alt codes for those accentuated letters,
• Use a Autohotkey script to remap your keys to avoid the ` one.

Also worth mentioning is that some editors may have an insert symbol option, allowing to click the characters from list and copy it to clipboard.
