On a console, run the `showkey' command, and press whichever key you intend
to use, eg. I applied the cent sign to work with altgr + the window key on
the right (the one with the pointer):
$ showkey
(press <key>)
kb mode was XLATE

press any key (program terminates after 10s of last keypress)...
keycode  28 release
keycode 100 press
keycode 100 release
keycode 127 press
keycode 127 release

Now go to /etc/kbd/default.map.gz, and under the line

keycode 127 =

type:

keycode 127 =
        altgr   keycode 127 = cent

Now, reboot, and whenever you press altgr+thatkey, you'll get the ¢ sign.

BTW, anyone knows anyway of implementing the "euro" currency sign?

Horacio.
