I rarely use '^' (Shift+6 or Unicode U+005E) and use '⁓' (Unicode U+2053) all the time as part of my signature on emails and so forth.

I realize the Swung Dash (⁓) and Tilde (~) are very similar, I just find the longer one more aesthetically pleasing for signatures and stuff like that.

Is there a way I can remap ^ to ⁓ ?
Or when remapping keys is it all or nothing?

Any advice is welcomed!

PS ⁓ See, there it is. Twice. In the signature and PS!

This is one idea:

  1. Define a compose key. You do that in System Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Typing.

  2. Create the file ~/.XCompose with this contents:

    include "%L"
<Multi_key> <U007E> <U007E> : "⁓" U2053 # SWUNG DASH

That way (at next login) typing <Compose> + ~ + ~ will result in ⁓.

Not exactly what you asked for, but maybe you still want to consider it.
