Copy the code and paste it into your terminal. This will convert the key under the esc to the ~ sign.

Just so you know, when your laptop restarts, this binding will disappear.

To make it persistent, you can add the binding to your bash file, either bashrc or zshrc. This will run the binding script every time your terminal is active, so you won't need to do this binding manually.
