Description Olaf Hering 2006-10-17 03:37:03 UTC
the danish mac map lacks an Euro symbol, alt+e is supposed to give €
shift+alt+e gives currently 'cent', alt+e has NoSymbol

how should one enter the € with macintosh/us? Wouldnt it make sense to map it to
Alt+e?
Comment 1 Olaf Hering 2006-10-17 04:09:04 UTC
I checked MacOS 9.2, a danish map has the Euro sign on shift 4, which is
currently mapped to currenty.
alt+e gives 'e or so.
Comment 2 Denis Barbier 2006-10-17 04:17:24 UTC
Sergey, it looks like you committed only one of my 2 patches
from BZ1576, both should be applied.  This will add the
EuroSign to key e. 
Olaf, do you know if Euro sign is engraved on key 4 on
Danish keyboards, or if this is only a Mac OS convention?

I have also no strong feeling about putting Euro sign in
symbols/macintosh_vndr/us.  AFAICT nobody requested them
on PC keyboards, but adding it seems harmless, so it may
be a good idea after all.
Comment 3 Olaf Hering 2006-10-17 04:22:47 UTC
I cant remember it the Euro sign was there, the patch was made on request from a
danish user. Changing currency to EuroSign on shift 4 in macintosh_vndr/dk
should be done at least.
alt+shift+e gives the E with ' ontop of it.

Comment 5 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2006-10-17 15:35:57 UTC
OK, Olaf, I committed your last patch.

Denis, I thought I applied all patches from 1576. Which one did I miss?
Comment 6 Denis Barbier 2006-10-18 00:06:37 UTC
This one: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=7153
Maybe it is easier to revert Olaf's patch first if needed,
I will redo it after id=7153 attachment is applied. 
Comment 7 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2006-10-18 11:27:21 UTC
Denis, OK, it is committed now, thanks.
Comment 8 Denis Barbier 2006-10-18 14:08:48 UTC
Please add symbols/macintosh_vndr/latam, thanks Sergey ;)
Comment 9 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2006-10-18 14:14:51 UTC
