(I'm > using default BASH as the shell) I have that same behavior as well because I want it like that. I'm not sure what terminal emulator you're using, since the linux console works differently compared to X11 terminal emulators in that regard. In X11, I have them as xmodmap keys of the sort dead_* which are loaded from ~/.Xmodmap in my window manager startup script. I can tell you this much: Using your new "dead" tilde you can now create letters like ñ, ã, õ, ẽ etc. cheers! mar77i
