Insert caret/tilde without enter

[endre...@gmail.com]

To insert a tilde or caret (~/^) you need to first press the key for the symbol, then enter. This is because without enter, pressing the key for those symbols puts the keyboard in a waiting mode to see if it recieves a key to modify. For example ~+n is ñ.

Is there a way to insert those two symbols without an additional enter keypress? I use them all the time when hacking and having to press two keys to insert them is really bothersome.

Your desire is an input source dependent issue.
Please tell me your using input source.

What do you mean by input source? Sorry, I can be a bit daft.

 I want to use a Norwegian keyboard layout, haven't decided on which keys to use yet.

I see now that Ctrl+~ immediately inserts tilde, so this is not a problem anymore.

Therefore I would like to learn how to insert ^ without pressing an additional key. I cannot see how to do that.

Note to self: karabiner can insert several keys in a row, so to insert a ^ without a modifier, try to insert ^+space.

Keyboard viewer might help you to inspect keyboard layout.

You can input ^ by option-shift-^.
This XML allows you to input ^ by control-^.
