I cleaned up my G80-1800 and now my Tilde wont work. I haven't hit it with a meter yet, but didn't know if inlikeflynn/other 1800 enthusiasts would have any weird quirks that happen occasionally. The Tilde is the only key does not work.

I use the ~ key once every round in Counter-Strike: Source to pop up the console window (So I can see the damage given/taken that round). I'm not sure what he uses it for, but it definitely has it's uses.

Linux shortcut for "home". Important key.
Can't imagine why one would use the grave key, however.

To execute commands at a Unix prompt as sub-processes e.g. echo `date` will run the date command and echo the output.

You can always use the (preferred since POSIX adopted the Korn shell-isms) $(date) vs `date`. But it would also mess with m4 open-close `' style quoting.
It's funny how characters that were not important to English typists were defined to become important (~, `, @, *, etc.) just because they were on the keyboard, so got used for something.

AmigaDOS works the same way.
