That's key code for tilde, the character one can see in Keyboard Viewer at N position with Cmd+Option depressed. It's usual location on Apple U.S. keyboards is to the left of '1' key.

Per bug 37776, Cmd-key combos have to use translated character code to produce key codes, and not physical key code. But doing so makes us handle Cmd+Option+N as tilde.

Cmd+Option+N should produce 'N' keyCode for U.S. keyboard, same for Dvorak-QWERTY keyboard, but 'B' keyCode for plain Dvorak keyboard. This is tricky, I'm not sure how to implement such a rule.
