Hello folks,

I am struggling with the following:

How can I search with "vi" for the character "~" (tilde). I do not know of a
way escaping this character (implemented in vi as a shortcut for saved last
searchresult): the backslash doesn't work for tilde, i cannot use a [.-.] or
[^.-.] sequence as a trick because tilde is the last printable below 0x7F.

Anybody know a trick?


Greetings,
