Undo all three steps sudo launchctl unload -w - /Library/LaunchAgents/ sudo rm -f - /Library/LaunchAgents/ ~/.Fix the tilde key on Mac with Automator and keyboard shortcuts and run the following script: hidutil property -set '' Open your favourite terminal Terminal, iTerm, etc. but what worked at the end is the following.
