Wow! Great! I did exactly as you suggested, and now it works. Alt+5 now produces the € sign and Alt+Space the nobreakspace char (ascii 160). Thank you very much for your help. I've tried all I could think of, but I couldn't have figured this out myself. > I don't know about the "Compose Key Position" section though, as I lost > > access to the € character, when checking any of the boxes here. After the € sign and the nbsp; char worked, I checked "Menu is compose" as I my previous setting was, and that also works again like it did: á è ï ô ũ :-) Greetings and thanks again, Manon.
