This question a) belongs on meta, not here & b) is rather confused. What does the Alt key have to do with your requiring two backticks ` [not tildes, btw, they're ~ ]

Stack Exchange uses markdown for formatting, which means two backticks surround a code block like this. This is entered as

`a code block like this`

If you want to enter any markdown & not show as such, then you can escape formatting marks using backslash \

So if you want `two backticks without formatting` you type

\`two backticks without formatting\`

This & much more formatting help is available from within the text space, right above where you type your question or answer.
