Several years ago the basic German XKB layout was modified in that the
dead_tilde symbol was changed to asciitilde (i.e. not dead). They added
a German (legacy) layout which changes back asciitilde to dead_tilde.
German (legacy) has in 18.04 been name changed to German (deadtilde).
So yes
For anyone affected in 18.04, I have found in "Settings > Language and
Region > Input Sources > + > ... > Other" the layout "German (dead
tilde)". This fixes my issue, and I wonder if this is the solution
previous posters here were hoping for: the default German layout with
only the tilde key
Same here, German (legacy) solved my problem.
But it's not a nice solution. Imagine having this problem w/o internet
connection or w/o knowing some helpful search keywords like 'tilde' or 'dead
keys'.
Most of such users will probably not manage to find out that switching to the
legacy-layout
I am having the same problem. Hopefully the German standard keyboard
will have the functionality to produce "ñ" again in future releases. I
don't understand why this was removed.

With the upgrade to 15.10 the dead key of ~ (and thus the possibility of
writing ñ) stopped to work for me.
Switching to german legacy as described here solved the issue for now. But for
me it would be extremely annoying if this layout is removed without any sane
solution. (editing keymaps is
Changing to legacy layout has some drawbacks, e.g. less assigned
symbols. Since I can enter most symbols easily (such as 'ø' and 'ç', as
described in https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Sonderzeichen) with the
standard keyboard layout I found another solution that works fine for me
to be able to type 'ñ',
A much nicer, general solution would be to be able to select which keys
should be dead and which should not - in OPTIONS - instead of having to
choose a different layout.

Sorry for posting multiple times. But at least for those searching for a
solution, it might be helpful to learn about the different
solutions/workarounds:
If you're altogether happy with the default german keyboard layout and just
need to be able to type ñ/Ñ, you might consider modifying the

German (legacy) brings back the dead key function for now, but I agree
with umehlig. A possible removal in the future should not happen, and
shunting the dead key function to the legacy keyboard layout is not a
nice solution.

Still looking for a solution on this.
I'm Xubuntu 14.04 an I know that it was possible to type ñ using AltGr+N
before. This would be the easiest way to go.

Title:
German keyboard layout loses
Same problem here. I am argentinean but been using a laptop that I
bought in Germany for years.
Fortunately, it was fixed by installing German (legacy) layout.

Title:
I understand that people who do not write texts with ã, ñ etc.
rather like to type ~ directly, e.g., in path names or LaTeX source.
However, transferring the ~ dead key to a legacy keyboard layout
(14.04 release) gives the impression that the option to use ~ as an
accent will be removed completely
