The Tilde key?

I'm on Sequoia 15.7.3 and Illustrator 30.1, working on a 2025 iMac.  I can't seem to get the Tilde key to produce copies. Are there shortcuts I've forgotten or am missing?

    Correct answer Bill Silbert

    You must hold down the tilde key as you are using the drawing tool to make duplicates. It will not work if you try and drag an already drawn shape with the tilde held down.

    Everything but that!?!

    My fading memory, but Mr. Silbert has come to the rescue. Thanks, Bill.
