My tilde works neither in the buffer nor in the keyboard tester, which gives me this (on my Finnish keyboard, I need to push Alt Gr to get the tilde, that's why there are the first and last two codes as well):

• Event KEY_PRESSED,keyCode=0x11,keyChar=0xffff,modifiers=0x2 passed
• ==> Translated to C<11,0>
• Event KEY_PRESSED,keyCode=0x12,keyChar=0xffff,modifiers=0xa passed
• ==> Translated to CA<12,0>
• Event KEY_PRESSED,keyCode=0x87,keyChar=0x7e,modifiers=0xa filtered
• Event KEY_RELEASED,keyCode=0x87,keyChar=0x7e,modifiers=0xa passed
• Event KEY_RELEASED,keyCode=0x11,keyChar=0xffff,modifiers=0x8 filtered
• Event KEY_RELEASED,keyCode=0x12,keyChar=0xffff,modifiers=0x0 filtered

I use Windows XP Service Pack 2, jEdit version 4.2 final, and Java Runtime Environment 1.5.0. I tried that MacOS workaround to be safe, but it didn't help. The other two functions of the button (normal - umlaut and shift - caret) work just fine, just tilde doesn't. Also, all other characters which require Alt Gr to be outputted have no problems. And it's a pain to use the Character Map, since in C++, for instance, ~ is used in just about every class (for the destructor function).

Accent Plugin may cause some problem.
If Accent is Enabled ~A will be converted in to à symbol. If that the problem you are facing try Plugin->Accents->Enable Uncheck the MenuItem.

IF this dosent help

2nd thing you might want to try is to Util->Troubleshooting->Keybord Tester...

try entering the ~ in the dialog box. and post the output for further analysis of you'r problem
