[Chimera-users] Issues with characters on command line (OS X 10.9)

[Eric Pettersen]

Another thing to try out is using the X Windows version of Chimera.  It's in the "Unsupported Releases" section of the download page.  Also, in About This Mac if you get a System Report and look under USB, what kind of keyboard do you have?

I tried this via remote desktop display, so I wasn't using the Apple keyboard.  I don't have access to a Mac OS 10.9 machine today.  I wonder if you have a stuck modifier key on your keyboard.  I assume tilde displays fine in other apps (e.g. TextEdit) for you.  Can you type tilde in some other place in Chimera other than the command-line, for example, Tools / Viewing Controls / Camera / scale factor?  If you enable keyboard shortcuts with the command "ac", then type tilde (~) does it say ~ - unknown accelerator in the status line at the bottom of the Chimera window?
