Cannot type the € symbol in PhpStorm

I can type the euro symbol (€) in any other application with the standard keypress but not in PhpStorm. Nothing happens when I press AltGr+E. What's the problem?

I could not type # symbol and it was same issue as this one.

My story of solution:

  1. Tried to write # symbol (Ctrl + Alt + X) and that typed nothing, just info in bottom left corner (something about finding Xpaths) showed up.
  2. Then I went to Settings > Keymap and type 'xPath' in search field.
  3. This way I found out that on that key shortcut was plugin about XPaths bound.
  4. Go to plugins, find the plugin and disable it.
  5. Restart IDE and then I can write # symbol as I need.

It's a known issue considered not a bug. AltGr+E is basically an alias for Ctrl+Alt+E. This last key combination is assigned by default to the Edit command provided by the Perforce Integration plug-in. You can verify it at:

File → Settings → IDE Settings → Keymap

Click on the magnifying class icon and press AltGr+E:

Keymap

Possible solutions:

  • Disable the plugin if you don't need it:

    File → Settings → IDE Settings → Plugins

  • Otherwise, change or disable the keybinding.

Whatever the reason, the Browse History binding does not interfere. In fact, it doesn't even work.
