Is that because you have some other input method active? Because otherwise, the number of keystrokes to toggle input method, type the character, then toggle again is the same as with C-x 8. C-x 8 is just another input method these days. Except that it doesn't behave like one, and that causes confusion among users and makes the documentation more difficult to write. If it is a frequent problem with the Euro that people need to insert them when they have a non-Latin input method active, perhaps we should add the Euro to some non-Latin input methods as well. > I didn't even know that C-x 8 is defined to insert `latin-1' characters, > I just though it was a handy package for inserting common characters > from the non-ASCII latin set.

If there another functionality that does the same and doesn't require more keystrokes, will you consider switching?
