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 have a US keyboard, but it just won't work. I have tried all options (2 key, E key
and 5 key) but nothing works. Whenever I press the Alt-Gr + E, the Edit menu opens
(same with the left-Alt + E).

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).
Thanks for the info. Didn't know that.But whatever settings I try,
I don't get a nobreakspace char (ascii 160).
Greetings, Manon.
