Select: System - Preferences - Keyboard
Select: 'Layout Options' tab
Select: 'Adding the EuroSign to certain keys' Select prefered key
Select: 'Third level choosers' Select prefered chooser key
now you should be able to use your chosen chooser key + chosen euro key to print the €.
This dosen't address the keymap issue but should allow users to easily type € when needed.
Possible workaround for the Euro key:
Select: System - Preferences - Keyboard
Select prefered key
Select prefered chooser key
Select: 'Layout Options' tab
Select: 'Adding the EuroSign to certain keys'
Select: 'Third level choosers'
now you should be able to use your chosen chooser key + chosen euro key to print the €.
