Git Bash Inserts Tilde


Does anyone know what could be causing git bash to randomly insert the tilde character in the terminal window.

Also I am not sure if related, but when viewing log files in vim, the help dialog automatically opens in a split window in vim.

Does anyone know what the issue could be? I suspect it could be some sort of keep alive setting, but I have yet to figure this one out.


Solution

  • Same as above answer.

    Caffeine was causing it for me.
    What I did was add a command argument -useshift and this stopped it completely.
