Typing tilde on Netbeans 6.1 - annoying java bug

Friday, July 11th, 2008

It seems that is imposible to type the ˜ symbol (named also tilde,squiggle,twiddle,not,approx,wiggle,swung,dash,enyay,sqiggle) in Netbeans with a Swedish keyboard at least. It seems that it’s a long known java bug (bug 6353098, bug 6253172). At least I can use the Alt+126 code to type it.

How to enable Windows key as Super key in linux

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

...
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "es"
        Option      "XkbOptions" "altwin:super_win"
EndSection
