I have my keyboard in Ubuntu Linux 8.04 set to "USA International (AltGr dead keys)". I did this because I have European clients and I need to type their currency symbols.
I find it's easy to type the euro with: Right Alt + 5: €
However, typing the british pound is difficult: Right Alt + Shift + 4: £
Does anyone know how I can reprogram my keyboard so that it's a little easier to type the british pound key?
I'm using the default GNOME desktop if that means anything to you.

Re: Reprogramming The Keyboard
I just needed to create a file:
~/.xmodmaprc
And, inside, put:
keycode 116 = sterling
Then, log out and back into GNOME or KDE and it will use this key.
You might have to install x11-xserver-utils if this doesn't work for you.
