On the german keyboard layout you have to hold "Alt Gr" and then type the "+ * ~" key to create the tilde sign. When I want do do this in a konsole that I opened with Xming, I have to type that key two times before the tilde appears

.... Take me: I have realized the difference by serendipity by looking into the layout file and instantly switched to the traditional behaviour. Really, I have just jumped into the Linux world in March 2015, I am not just obdurate in this matter. I use the traditional layout because dead_tilde and dead_macron in the layout are simply more useful than asciitilde and macron in general. Programmers have their accentless layout or use a non-German layout completely, if they need keys commonly implemented as dead keys too frequently and on the other hand do not need accents, but for most computer appliances it is smooth to press the dead key twice. Whereas nothing speaks for keeping the mixed keyboard layout resulting from the often-cited standard. Again, who knows what is set elsewhere? People come to use free desktops because they want to learn, and in the unlikely case that the dead tilde surprises anyone, he does appreciate it if he owns himself to conceive its use.
