OSX: Fix tilde/accent key on Velocifire TKL71WS Keyboard

I recently got the Velocifire TKL71WS Wireless Keyboard for my daily use. I like it a lot thus far – although battery life could be a little bit better, still under testing with different illumination profiles -, but it overall does the job for me.

The only caveat that I had with it is that it is missing a dedicate tilde/accent key (~/`). To use them, you have to hold the Function key (2nd key to the right side of space bar) and press Escape. That is quite a finger-twister and I found myself struggling with it a lot. Also, that is the method to write the Arabic character “ذ” which is also inconvenient.
