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.

In bash, press Ctrl V (literal insert) and then F10 .
To change the default startup directory of Git Bash, do the following steps: Right-click on Git Bash's shortcut icon and go to the Properties. In the Start in field, paste the path to the desired folder, e.g. D:\WorkDir. Remove --cd-to-home from the Target field if it exists.
In order to navigate to a different drive/directory you can do it in convenient way (instead of typing cd /e/Study/Codes), just type in cd[Space], and drag-and-drop your directory Codes with your mouse to git bash, hit [Enter].
Same as above answer.
Caffeine was causing it for me.
What I did was add a command argument -useshift and this stopped it completely.
For more command line things: Caffeine command line arguments

I finally found the answer to the issue from https://superuser.com/questions/708511/putty-inserts-random-characters-during-a-session I had also just installed Caffeine about a month ago, and that is when the symptoms began! Now that I have it disabled the symptoms above have gone away!
