[OS X TeX] TeXShop tilde not behaving

[Richard Koch]

This problem is (probably) caused by Apple, not TeXShop, but you can turn it off. Go to TeXShop's Edit Menu, find the "Substitutions Menu",
and notice that you can select

	Smart Copy/Paste
	Smart Quotes
	Smart Dashes
	
Etc. These items are present not because I think users will want to turn them on, but instead because Apple often turns them on
automatically and I think users will want to turn them off.

If you use TeXShop's Key Bindings facility, you might also add strange tilde's in that way. By default, Key Bindings are off in
TeXShop because I dislike editors that modify what I type.

Instead, I got a ? in the PDF output and the tilde in the source was changed to ? after running LaTeX. Then I changed the input in TeXShop to UTF8 and the ? changed to ËIJ, so I added \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}. Then I got the tilde, ˜, instead of a non-breaking space :/
