Hi Manon. I have a few keboard layouts setup, but on the GB one, the right alt key (ALT GR) plus the 4, gives me the € sign. On the US keyboard layout, right alt plus E does the same. French keyboard, right alt plus E again, and the same for portugese layout. > > > > I also found this: "Adding the nobreakspace keysym to space key" with the > options to set it to any, second, third and fourth level. > > What is a level, and eg. if I set it to second level, how do I access the > nobreakspace char then? Not sure about the nobreakspace char, but the levels are: Level one: lower case characters. Level two: Upper case characters (using the shift key). Level three: Additional characters (using right alt (ALT GR) key). Level four: More additional characters (using right alt plus shift). > > Greetings, Manon. All the best. Nigel.
