I try to change tilde key to shift.
I have success in it, but only for russian language.
I used KeyRemap4MacBook
for it.
When I switch language to english this substitution stops working. How to make it work in both languages?
UPDATE
From KeyRemap4MacBook eventViewer
I found that my target key code is DANISH_DOLLAR
And I set private.xml
(~/Library/Application Support/KeyRemap4MacBook/private.xml
) accordingly:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
<item>
<name>TildeToShift</name>
<identifier>TildeToShift</identifier>
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::DANISH_DOLLAR, KeyCode::SHIFT_L</autogen>
</item>
</root>
I clicked ReloadXML
and watched results: nothing changed. I press my target key + a
, expecting to get A
(shift+a), but instead see §a
Update 2
Finally target key code is KeyCode::BACKQUOTE
but not KeyCode::DANISH_DOLLAR
although EventViwer
showed DANISH_DOLLAR
when I clicked target key. This is because I swapped Tilde
and Section keys.

You can use a private.xml such as this:
