Cannot type deadkey tilde into query editor on macOS

Hi,

I have searched for this on Google and in the Discourse and couldn’t find anything.

I am unable to type a tilde into the query editors in Grafana, for example when using PromQL regex matches (=~).

On the German keyboard in macOS, the tilde is a so-called “dead key”, which means it won’t appear until you press another key that it applies to, which can be space. Unfortunately, that does not work in Grafana. When I press ~, I see the ~, waiting for another key press. When I press space, the ~ disappears. The same work in other places, like the query editor in the Prometheus UI.

I have tried it in both Chrome and Safari, but neither works.

Confirmed. As a quick workaround: you can copy and paste the query string with ~
