I used those kinds of keyboards a couple of times about two decades ago,
helping out a company that got its equipment from Switzerland.

I am running out of ideas about what might be wrong, but one more thing I can
suggest trying is to establish a figure with a KeyPressFcn callback, and to
display evt.Character, evt.Modifier, evt.Key, and (0 + evt.Character); the
last of these would be the character number that Matlab thinks it is getting.
And if no callback is triggered at all for that combination, that is
interesting by itself.

I'd suggest if Walter's suggestions don't resolve the problem to send
this directly to TMW support that's available at the "contact us" button
on TMW web page.

While c.s-s.m is very useful, it isn't actually TMW official support.

Thanks for your answers. I shall try this, and, if it does not work,
the TMW will be contacted. Thanks for anything.

If you press the combination and follow it by letter, e.g. n then you
get an accented letter ñ. If so, did you try following the combination
for tilde by a space/Esc key/second time the same combination (this
should produce two tildes)? I also don't get anything when just pressing
tilde one time. I have to follow it by a whitespace character to get the
tilde ~ as a character alone.

Nice idea. I just tried, and pressing the key for tilde followed by a
space or a ESC gives strictly nothing (nothing appears at the
screen). This is something I do not need to do in the other programs,
but it (doing so) happened to me under other configs.

The weirdest thing is that tilde + a letter gives the tilde on the
letter, but that tilde + a key which is not a letter gives strictly
nothing.

I have been working on a MATLAB project these last weeks, and I was
always _obliged_ to write a tilde in another program (e.g. gedit, or
emacs) and copy and paste it to MATLAB. Note that, at this moment,
MATLAB considers it like a normal tilde, and everything is fine.

Would not it be linked to UTF-8 or another encoding problem? Is
actually MATLAB UTF-8 based on Linux? And on Microsoft Windows?

Thanks.

We tend to be perfect. That's why when we make mistakes we are hard
on ourselves.
