I just saw you were asking for an "international" keyboard with an Euro character. This is obviously not the German layout. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I think US-International-Euro would be best as the € sign is an extension i.e. option of the US-International keyboard layout. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#US-International -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I don't think we want to replace "us" with "us(intl)". Mike? "us(euro)" might be an option, which defines the eurosign on the 5 key (together with RALT). The question is. Would you expect it there? Looking at /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/eurosign, engraving it on "e", "2", "4" is also common practice. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

When i entered this request i was also thinking about newbies. For them it might not be that logical. Question: Why not also enable the € when the US keyboard is selected, it won't hurt anyone. It'll only gives more functionality. I mean just use the euro version instead of the basic just like the tty's. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
