I take it the official way to enter a euro symbol in vi/vim is
AltGr+4.
I find this works about 20% of the time.
It usually works if it is the first character entered.
But most of the time it does not work - I just get a "4".
Why not create a Compose key? Then you get the € symbol by
hitting compose, then e then = . And a whole lot of other useful
things, like all the diacritical marks for the European languages,
other monetary symbols like £, ¥, ¢, the Spanish ¿ and ¡, the
German ß and even a Greek letter or two.
