Is there a way of inserting a tilde (~) on a German keyboard without having to press space afterwards?

Question

I have a german keyboard layout (QWERTZ), and I often need to type a tilde (~) without any other symbols attached to it (e.g. ñ). Currently, the only way I know of to inset a tilde is ⌥ N + Space, which is rather tedious. In comparison, on Windows I only need to press Alt Gr + +.

Is there a way to configure macOS to not require the additional spacebar press?

If you switch to the Input Source called "German Standard", you can get ~ via Option + +.

The problem is not getting the ~ but avoiding it turns into e.g. ã or similar. – nohillside Jul 07 '23 at 11:16
