$\sim$

When $\sim$ is followed by a single character this command has the same effect as the Alt-char key combination.

$\wedge$

When the $\wedge$ is followed by a character the effect is the same as when the combination of this character and the control key has been pressed.

The $\sim$ and $\wedge$ commands have been provided for use in macro's and stream scripts. These commands use the `raw' bindings of Alt, Ctrl and function keys, so they are insensitive to key redefinitions.
