I just pressed the ctrl key and the key with +,* and ~ and bash shows a k. I don´t get it either because in all other tools I use i don´t have that issue with my keyboard

@Linda: Why do you need the ctrl key with +,* to type ~? Isn't the tilde in its own key to the left of the number 1 in your keyboard? I just need to press SHIFT with that key on the top left.

@Linda, can you please edit that into your question. And also specify which keyboard layout you have. Are you sure about ctrl, I think you mean either shift or Alt Gr.

@Linda: Alt-Gr and that button twice instead of one, works?
