Non-English keyboard problems entering tilde ~

[zepadovani]

Hi,

If I try to use a brazilian keyboard, when I try to type a "~", it is not being inserted. Maybe it helps to inform you that in the brazilian keyboard, the 'tilde' does not require a shift command to be pressed, but it requires a space to be pressed after pressing the tilde key (so that it not waits for a letter, as it happens with diacritics).

thanks!

On mac I assume? We had the same issue with Mexican (Latin American Spanish) keyboards last week. The issue being that the tilde that is part of a compound key that won't work. A workaround is to use a keyboard shortcut to bring up the "real tilde"˜~˜, but I cannot figure out how to do it with a brazilian keyboard on mac. With a Latin American Spanish keyboard, you can do alt shift n . On the Brazilian keyboard, however, that brings up a high tilde ˜instead.

I just pushed 6401943 a workaround that interprets the high tilde as a regular tilde so hopefully you are able to continue by using alt shift n. Let me know how it goes.

Tilde on Macs with a German keyboard can be typed with alt-shift-8

@clwe how do you insert tildes in regular Pd on mac with a German keyboard?

Actually I'm on Linux/Manjaro... anyway, thank you!

@zepadovani did my commit above fix the issue for you?

[zepadovani]

Oh, I will try soon and will make you know (in a hurry here)! Thank you!

@giuliomoro typing a ~ on a mac with German keyboard for the regular Pd would be alt-n, but this opens up a new window in web-gui

What about alt shift n?
