You do realise that the standard keyboard used in holland is us keyboard
and not dutch (I can't remember ever seening a dutch keyboard and i have
only "seen" them buyable at Dell as something you could order instead of
us keyboard). The standard place for the euro is on a us keyboard is 
something with a 5 (because on the 5 key there is a euro symbole). I have
misread the debian euro howto. Thought it was CTRL-ALT-5 but it seems to 
be AltGr+5. I don't know what a logical place would be on a nl-keyboard
so i don't know if what you are doing is wish.


May i do a suggestion: Can we have a us keyboard optimized for dutch ?
