macbook 2,1 german @ and € euro signs

[elementxyz]

Hi,
after i installed 9.10 i recognized that the @ and € keys not working. After a look in the help
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook
i found not really a solution. Then i searched in other forums and found a solution. For German Users with Macbook 2,1 go to:

System
Einstellungen
Tastatur
Belegungen

Tastaturmodell: Macbook/Macbook Pro (Intl)

for me clicked on : Seperate Belegung für jedes Fenster

Belegung: Deutschland Macintosh (ohne Akzenttasten)

Belegungseinstellungen...

Taste zum Wechsel in dritte Tastaturebene

choose:

Beliebige Alt-Taste
Linke Alt-Taste

Then i clicked on the button to make it system wide. After that i could make the signs @ with alt + L and € with alt + E just like in osx. Hope it works for you too!!! :p

Hi,

nice suggestion, but this conflicts with some applications' shortcuts. For example, in kile alt+9 is the default shortcut for DVItoPDF. Since third level key + 9 is } (at least on swiss german keyboards), this conflict makes kile quite unusable without heavy shortcut changing.
It's a matter of taste but I would stick with KP_enter as third level key.
