I thought tilde was "~".

I guess the topic changed to messages from IRC.

Tilde is "~" even in Quake 2. They just refer to the wrong button with regards to the console.

I guess you wouldn't have had this problem since you use an english keyboard anyway (I guess ) it's just that q2 isn't keyboard layout aware... it uses an english keyboard layout for all keyboards, which means that we that have nordic keyboard layouts have all sorts of special buttons in the "wrong" places, one of which is tilde (q2 thinks that this button is located where we actually have ½ and § )
