Just in case that someone still cares.

You can put the tilde anywhere on your keyboard.

Just edit your keyboard file rx-51. Here is an example for a German keyboard:
Code:
sudo gainroot
cp /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-51\
 /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-51.original
vi /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-51
key <AC09> { [l,L,colon,asciitilde] };
exit
setxkbmap de
I have put the asciitilde on the key "L". When I press Shift + Functionkey + L, then I get the tilde on the screen without pressing space.

The circumflex is asciicircum.
