sotolf@rl_dane I do that too, but mostly because tilde is rather awkward to type on European keyboards.
Just curious, what's the keystroke to type a tikde on your keyboard layout?
@rl_dane AltGr (right alt key) + the key left of 1 since it's a dead key it will combine so you have to press space to get it to show up by itself and not become ñ for example, not really a problem with ~/ but it can get cumbersome, if I use the germal layout (qwertz) then it's AltGr + the rightmost key on the qwertz row the one right of ü marked with [*+~] and again it's a dead key so you have the same maybe problem that it will combine with the next chacter if you don't space it :)
That's a lot more complex than my little compose key setup, but of course, you need the flexibility since you type in so many languages, whereas it's just a little extra spice for me, occasionally typing French words, or little bits of flair like my penchant for using the forcibly iambic "cursèd." 😆
I even set up a shell script to convert "hxcxjxux" #Esperanto notation into the proper "ĥĉĵŭ," etc. for that language, rather than play finger-pretzel. ;)
@rl_dane Yeah and I need things for my native language as well as you have words like
for -> for
fór -> Emphasised for
fôr -> Fodder
fòr -> Ran (dialectal)
før -> before
So it gets kind of annoying some times, now when I normally write I would just write the two which I have single keys for like for and før, but if I need to write them correctly they need to be there.
