I'm a using a normal notebook qwerty keyboard on my Thinkpad and a Debian Linux. For Microsoft Windows there are plenty of keyboard combinations to make the Euro sign to appear on the screen. In Windows; 1. On UK Keyboard the euro sign shows when AltGr (Right Alt Button) + 5 is pressed. 2. On US keyboard the euro sign is invoked via keyboard combination; AltGr (Right Alt) + 5 3. On all kind of keyboards in Windows the Euro sign is visualized by ; holding Alt and typing 0128 : However in my GNOME on Linux the universal way to insert the euro sign by holding alt with 0128 did not worked out. I've found plenty of things related to how the euro sign could be produced on Linux, most of the info I found however didn't gave me a clue how can I achieve this simple task. At that time I've found on a forum on the net, that in Gnome the euro sign producing can be configured via GNOME's Control Panel So to assign a keyboard configuration which will be able to produce the euro sign; 1. Go to Gnome's Keyboard settings System -> Preferences -> Keyboard 1 / 2 Walking in Light with Christ - Faith, Computing, Diary Articles & tips and tricks on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, mobile phone articles, religious related texts http://www.pc-freak.net/blog 2. In the Keyboard Preferences Window choose Layouts -> Options 3. In the Keyboard Layouts Options choose Adding Euro Sign to certain keys under this menu tick the E Next Choose the Key to choose 3rd level Therein select; Right Alt That's it now you can produce / type the euro sign by simply pressing the AltGr (Right Alt) + e I'm quite happy that day by day settings up & configurations related to the GUI on Linux are becoming easier.
