Hi,
I was trying to type the special characters, specifically € character while using Illustrator. Unfortunately the method that works for every other piece of software I use, is not available in Illustrator. There reason is that Illustrator uses 'Alt Gr' key as replacement for combination 'Alt+Ctrl' even in the text typing mode. That prevents me from using any special characters that require the combination of 'Alt Gr + <letter>'. The examples would be 'Alt Gr + 4' which gives € character in result or 'Alt gr + e' giving 'é'.
Please don't suggest for me to pick the special characters from 'Character Map' as it would only make sense if it's just one once in a while. I know I'll need Illustrator for jobs that would require multiple special characters in a sentence.
It also doesn't have anything to do with the keyboard/system/software regional and language settings. The issue is specific to Illustrator and I was wondering if there's a way for disabling the key assignment so I could type freely. I've checked the Keyboard Shortcuts settings in Illustrator and there's no option to do that.
I'm looking forward to the reply from someone from Adobe as I've seen this issue raised many times in the forums but no solution or official statement was provided (as far as I've seen anyway).
Thanks in Advance.
