The tilde key is also the ` key. (I have no idea what the name of it is).

That's used in markdown and ES6 pretty commonly.

Losing that key is a problem for me.

Backtick. It's also used in bash scripting; and in Slack and presumably some other chat services it's used to delimit quoted code (forcing monospaced output).

Not as "much" of a problem I'd imagine as losing the escape key (at least for me). Maybe putting it somewhere else?
