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.

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.
