Re: Euro symbol inconvenience... suggestions?

[michael]

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 €.  :)

I am not sure it will help, but here I am using a French keyboard, and 
typing AltGr+E is producing € (AltGr is Right Alt, just right to space 
bar). And ledger does manage very nicely the € symbol in its output.

I just end up using EUR, although it doesn't display as nicely.

I would just wait a few years then you'll probably be back to your national
currency.

If you want to go that route, in recent Emacsen it is easier to start
and stop recording a keyboard macro with  and  respectively.

Hi,

you can of course bind your function to whichever key you like
(e.g. with M-x local-set-key, M-x global-set-key or in your init.el),
but notice that you may also press C-x 8 * E (not that this is an
extremely convenient binding;-) ).

Euro symbol inconvenience... suggestions?

[michael]

Hi all.

I'm new to ledger-cli, and I am using Emacs Ledger mode to enter my 
transactions.  Most of my transactions are in Euros, and while I can use 
option-shift-2 on my Mac in normal text boxes, Emacs doesn't approve.  

So I followed suggestions somewhere and made a euro function that I have to 
meta-x call every time I enter a transaction.  This is really a drag on my 
entry speed, and I'm hoping someone can suggest how I can improve my 
workflow/tools.

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
