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.

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).
