The Tilde ~ key isn't sticky for German users - this effects the emulator default settings.

Not sure what to do to fix.

Thank you for taking note of this.

The issue is not specifically German browsers, but rather German keyboard layouts. The problem is that the tilde (~) key is a dead key on the German layout. And a dead key cannot be held and released on command (it doesn't generate the same kind of KeyUp and KeyDown events), which is kinda essential for a fire button in Habitat, with the 'action wheel', etc.

Therefore, I would assume the same issue exists e.g. on the US International layout, which also uses the tilde as a dead key.

I'm planning to take a look at that when the dev environment is usable again. (It is actually why I started trying to get the docker containers working in the first place.)
