I’m hoping someone can help me with this.

I was holding my laptop while I had a vile open in vim, and I slipped, mashing a bunch of keys on the keyboard by mistake.

After doing this, I can’t type the ~ character anymore. Anytime I try to type it, it jumps the text putting focus on the line the cursor was on where I was trying to type.

I’ve searched and had no luck finding out what I did to cause this behavior. I also tried looking through the vim manpage and couldn’t find any info there either.

Hoping someone knows what the heck I did. Thank you!

      That’s what I thought too, but there’s no .vimrc. That was the first thing I checked. I should have included that.

        Hmm. Does it do it in other editors? My next guess is that it’s a laptop keyboard thing, like with the Fn key.

        I can’t imagine you completely remapped a key or created a shortcut just by mashing keys. I’m not even sure where that config would live.
