I can answer my own question now. How could I forget that Emacs uses my Option key for Meta...?
There was a suggestion on http://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/17552/13908 that works well for my situation: (setq ns-alternate-modifier 'meta)(setq ns-right-alternate-modifier 'none) That allows me to use my right Option key as the standard Mac Option key, so now I can Opt-Shift-2 for €. :) On Thursday, March 16, 2017 at 1:11:30 AM UTC+1, mic...@michaelteter.com wrote: > > True, I guess the real problem to address is why Emacs doesn't understand > my €. > > But amongst the good suggestions, I'll probably just use E for now. > > Thanks everyone! > > On Thursday, March 16, 2017 at 12:04:49 AM UTC+1, Craig Earls wrote: >> >> That is an emacs question.
