Hi Nick

What do you mean by "Alt Gr" ?

The second Alt button, located to the right of the space bar.
It is for Alternative Graphics and is used to access the third character
engraved on some keys.
On my UK keyboard, the Euro symbol is shown at the bottom right of the
number 4 key and holding Alt-Gr and pressing 4 produces € or Alt-Gr and
the key to the left of 1 produces the pipe character ¦

The Euro currency symbol is available as an insert from the menu

consistently you might need to change the regional settings in

to get European characters automatically.

Keyboards in at least some regions* (mine here in the UK is one) can
produce the Euro symbol using Alt Gr+4. Which means I finally have a
use for the Alt Gr key after all these years.
