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', too: remove the key binding for the right
"windows" key (if set so, that's the case in cinnamon) and activate the
compose key in keyboard options (as described in
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey). To type 'ñ', I now type
[right windows key](release), [AltGr/right alt]+[+](release, nothing is
displayed yet), [n](release, 'ñ' is typed).

Title:
  German keyboard layout loses tilde dead key

Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm used to the tilde (~) key being a dead key that can be used to
  type ñ or Ĩ. This changed with a recent update where it stopped
  connecting to the next typed character. After considerable effort I
  found "Deutsch (veraltet)" ie. "German (deprecated)".

  There used to be a way to tweak layout settings which also disappeared
  so there's no way for me to change this behavior.
