I have no affiliation with the wincompose project, I just like it a lot and think more people should know it exists.If you're writing in a language other than English, you'll likely need to know how to include accent marks. I have mine mapped to the windows key, since I don't use the shortcuts on that key and it's a convenient location, but you can also map it to things like scroll lock or pause/break that I'm pretty sure no one has ever pressed since before the 90s. You can map the compose key to a number of different keys on the keyboard that don't see much use. Plus it comes preloaded with all the basic compose sequences. XCompose file (which can, of course, be edited to your liking to add whatever compose sequences you like). It provides a much easier to use (in my opinion) interface than autohotkey it's just the traditional. I can type compose+ c+ = or compose- e+ + to get € (it's a little like a C with an = on top of it, after all, or an E with an =)) on Windows.

Someone else suggested autohotkey, but I think it's worth mentioning the excellent WinCompose project, that gives you full compose-key functionality (e.g. If that works well, you may wish to try again by just holding Alt, holding Fn, and typing M J K 8 (without needing to keep releasing Fn), and then just release Fn and then Alt in the end. (Yes, you should hold Alt down the entire time.) Then, release Fn, and hold down Fn again, and press 8. Then, release Fn and hold down Fn again, and press K. Then, release Fn and hold down Fn again, and press J. So, to do that on this computer, hold down Alt, then hold down Fn, and press M. Try holding down Alt and pressing 0128 on the numpad. So, there is a way to use a Numpad by holding down Fn. Hold that down, and then the picture shown indicates M, J, U, 7 correspond to Numpad 0, 1, 4, and 7. It shows an Fn key between the Ctrl key (actually called Strg in this picture, since the picture shows a German version) and the Start ("Windows" logo) key. Looking for a picture of an HP ProBook 430 which showed a keyboard large enough to read the keys well, I found this image: Is there no other method I've missed among the other answers? Will I have to stick to cut-and-pasting the € symbol in Windows?

Yes I can install a different keyboard layout, but those move around many symbols programmers use and I'm a touch-typist so it would slow me down considerably.

won't work because the HP ProBook 430 is a nice small portable size and doesn't have a numeric keypad.won't work because my HP ProBook 430 came with a US keyboard, and US keyboards have no AltGr key.won't work because in Australia we use the US English layout and there are no symbols mapped to any Alt-key combinations.Holding down the Alt key, then typing the Unicode hexadecimal codepoint for the symbol on the numeric keypad while holding the Alt key, and then releasing it.
