AFAICS, it appears you already have the right ctrl key as the compose key, so
just press that, then ~, then n. To use the windows key for this, you
kan make a file /etc/X11/Xmodmap and put
keycode 116=Multi_key
in it. If you use gdm, it will run xmodmap with this file automatically.
xdm and kdm may do so too. Otherwise, you will have to run
xmodmap /etc/X11/Xmodmap
yourself. This will map the right windows key to the compose key. To
get the left one, use keycode 115.
You will need to change XkbLayout to "us" to be able to type cd +
spacebar + ~.
