It's been in use for years in Germany -- the only way to obtain { [ ] } \ ~
| on a standard German computer keyboard. (As well as less common characters
such as � � �.)
And the euro is AltGr+E in most Microsoft layouts IIRC. (It is in the German
layout.) Ah, right: see
http://www.eu.microsoft.com/typography/faq/faq12.htm#kbd . The only ones
who're different are "Greek Latin", "Hungarian", "Irish", "Latvia QWERTY",
"Polish", "United Kingdom", and "US International", probably because they
already had something on AltGr+E.
Cheers,
Philip
