how to type Euro Sign (€) on GNOME

June 24th, 2007

Your keyboard layout(s) may not include the Euro Sign, so you may need to add it to certain keys. You do that go to Layout Options → Adding the EuroSign to certain keys. Select the key(s) you want to add the EuroSign to. Choose one that suits your keyboard.

It should be working by now. Open a text editor and test wether the Euro Sign is generated by pressing the "AltGr"+"EuroSign" key combination you defined in the previous steps.
