Pressing capslock+f thus produces a tilde.
By default unmapped keys inside of a layer do nothing, however
a layer may optionally have a parent from which mappings are
drawn for keys which are not explicitly mapped. A parent
is specified by appending `:<parent layer>` to the layer
name. This is particularly useful for custom letter layouts
like dvorak which remap a subset of keys but otherwise
leave the default mappings in tact.
