'Why?', you may ask is the dead '~' especially evil? in a word `rm -r ~/.junk`. If you are in the habbit of typing
<space> and switch to a mapping without dead keys `rm -r ~/.junk' becomes `rm -r ~ /.junk' which has a whole different meaning.
Of course you get problems if you are used to one keyboard layout and
switch to a different one you are not used to.
Decide which keyboard layout you like best, then stick to that and
stop switching.
