Hi,
after having typed ~= many times and found it very irritating in Eclipse
editors that the sequence to enter this has to be:
'~' ' '|'<esc>' '='
whereas it in the native mac is fine to type just '~' '='.
In Eclipse any character after ~ that it does not recognize as
composable deletes the ~ character.
All Eclipse editors (I tried) have the same behavior.
('vi' works fine though ;) )
I have the same issue when entering a regexp ~/.../.
How does this work on the Linux and Windows versions of Eclipse (try it
in a Java editor for instance).
Anyway, this has led me to consider replacing the use of ~ with ?. i.e.
'~=' becomes '?=' and patterns become ?/../ for regexp and ?" " for
simple pattern.

I reported it as an issue:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=315894
BTW: It is only the text editors that have it wrong, it works ok in all
dialogs.

I see several reasons not to do that change:
1. p2ql uses ~=. We cannot change that. Not now and not later.
2. Only some of the European keyboards suffer from this. A US keyboard
has the tilde as a first class character (shifted at top left). Same
thing on a French keyboard.
3. The ~= intuitively leads me to believe that this must be an
approximation which is fairly close to what it really is.

Well,
it is kind of broken in Eclipse - see if we can get it fixed in the
editor - it should not behave that way. (And I like the ~= too, I just
don't like typing it in eclipse :)
