Bought new keyboard without the EURO sign...

jk2001

Hi,

I've just installed my new Logitech cordless DUO set, and it turns out that the keyboard has no EURO symbol on the "4" key.... I actually knew this before I purchased but I thought that if I set it up as an Irish keyboard it would work when pressing ctrl+4 - - but it doesn't

Any suggestions on how I can use the EURO sign... please ??

Cheers

try ctrl + alt + 4

Guess what... it worked!!!

Any idea if there is an easier way of doing this in future? Is there a setting I can adjust anywhere??

Alt Gr (just to the right of the spacebar) + 4

Or what ballooba said. They're both the default ways of inserting a euro symbol in windows.

I'm not being a smartypants but Windows doesn't know if your keyboard has a euro symbol painted on the keyboard or not. CTRL+4 shouldn't work regardless using a UK or Irish keyboard.

You could map a different key or key combo to the € symbol (to replace the dollar sign perhaps) but AltGr+4 is as easy - especially if you use Excel and need that dollar sign handy.

Never heard of it as a combo. I know those exotic continental types use CTRL+E or AltGr+E for € but CTRL+4 just doesn't ring a bell.

(actually just went for a google and found that while some euro countries use AltGr+E, some (incl Denmark, Iceland, Italy) apparently use AltGr+5)

At the end of the day it's down to the driver and/or OS you're using.

At the end of the day, theres not a whole lot of difference between a quid and a euron anyway... get over it.
