>What’s the key to enter the euro symbol? That means you can’t use it in a text editor?

Alt gr+E? Like it's shown on the keyboard.

Not on a US keyboard layout. The point is that we insert characters that aren’t written on the keyboard keys with some regularity, like ©, ®, ™, etc

Well some of us do. There's this interesting effect where many people perceive the limitations on their current tools to be equivalent to limitations on their abstract abilities. If they don't know how to do it, it's impossible.

I think that's exactly the point that the parent poster is trying to make by example? Just because we don't have good tooling today for using ASCII delimiter characters, doesn't mean it's impossible -- just like typing the euro symbol on an american keyboard

[littlestymaar]

It doesn't mean it's impossible, but it's definitely cumbersome. Any non English people who has had to type in their native language from an american keyboard can tell you.

[couchand]

Oh yes certainly. And I think that when you're deep into creation it can be really really hard to remember that experience, and so recently I'm trying to find ways to help pull back the curtain for folks.

Except that not all keyboards have an AltGr key.

European ones tend to have one. US keyboards don't.

Not sure about British. Are they different from US?
