Tilde does nothing, how do I open the Home folder?


Recommended Posts

Hi, when I enter the tilde ˜ into Alfred, nothing happens. I understand it should open the Home folder for navigation. It IS selected in Features - File Search - Advanced. 

Please help. 

 

EDIT: I solved it, it was some kind of mismatch between keyboard layout (I use mainly Czech) and Alfred prefs. It does seem a bit buggy though - when I changed the layout and then pressed the key while in the key picker (the one in Features - File Search - Advanced - Home folder), it first thought I was pressing an apostrophe and it took a few presses to be correctly recognized as a backslash.

Wrong tilde. You're typing ˜ (U+02DC / SMALL TILDE). You need to type ~ (U+007E / ASCII 126 / TILDE).

 

Which key you need to press depends on which keyboard layout you're using. On a British keyboard it's ⇧` (SHIFT+BACKTICK).
