The keyboard key [Alt Gr] directly to the right of the [Spacebar] key.


So like this:

hmm, nothing...

Needs to be a keyboard with the € symbol printed on the "4" key...


Not true in my case - I have a £ symbol on the [4] key...and I have a standard Dell UK PC before the "concise police" arrive


That's an American keyboard nonetheless. Standard practice is for the home currency to be on 3. The € symbol is a 2nd symbol on the 4, not in place of $ but as well as. But accessed from Alt Gr rather than shift.

Also, any way of me making a pound sign? I usually use & as a substitute.
Alt + 0163 (using number pad)


Like this:

£

Hey it worked... ☺

Nope - bog standard Dell PC - The whole company has them - keyboard MUST be standard for a Dell even if its not the same as other PC's.

Here's the keys and their shifted output:

" £ $ %
2 3 4€ 5

Please - somebody have the same as me weeping

Output's simply down to the regional settings in Windows so that's obviously set to English - UK
