    Hello,

    my customer has noticed that it is not possible to enter the euro currency symbol € in the RichTextBox via key combination "Alt Gr" + "E"

    You can reproduce it in the online demo (http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#RichTextBox/TelerikEditor).

    As workaround it's only possible to enter the symbol with "Alt" + 0128.

    Best regards,
    Bernhard

    Hello Bernhard,

    Thank you for contacting us!

    Telerik RichTextBlock supports default key-binding commands which can be overridden and customize to the liking of the user . Currently, you can insert an Euro sign in RadRichTextBox using the following keyboard shortcut: Alt+Num0+Num1+Num2+Num8. If you want to change that behavior, you can subscribe to the PreviewEditorKeyDown event of the editor as shown here and handle the insertion here:

    private void radRichTextBox_PreviewEditorKeyDown(object sender, Documents.PreviewEditorKeyEventArgs e)
    {
        if(Keyboard.Modifiers.HasFlag(ModifierKeys.Alt) && Keyboard.Modifiers.HasFlag(ModifierKeys.Control) &&
            e.Key == Key.E)
        {
            e.SuppressDefaultAction = true;
            e.OriginalArgs.Handled = true;
      
            this.radRichTextBox.Insert("€");
        }
    }


    If you have other questions don't hesitate to contact us again.

    Regards,
    Svetoslav
