And tried pressing both 'menu' and 'e' (or Shift-e) together, and in succession. All I got were 'e' and 'E'. What's the right way to do it?
Together. Just as you use the shift-key.
Ok, found that I was just being silly and had the wrong keycode. Works fine for pound sterling now. However....
Wait, I've just discovered /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose, which tells me to multi-key '=' with 'C' for EuroSign. All that prints for me in an xterm is a blank space. € .. hmm. Obviously vi can do it.. € Why the blank space? Actually ? has the same problem.
That sounds as if you terminal-font doesn't have the € sign. Or your locale.
Indeed. I've got LANG=en_US.UTF-8 XTERM_LOCALE=en_US.UTF-8 .Xdefaults simply has xterm*font: 7x13 (just noticed the install of 12.1 at work still prints a blank instead of a Euro even in vim - whereas the home desktop will print it in vim) Not sure what else to look for or to do. Surely 12.1 comes with some reasonable console fonts which can do a Euro sign? Lost in a world of old X utilities... Oh, BTW, just how do you do key mappings for the true console (not in X)?
