I am having a lot of difficulty with Bionic Beaver inputting foreign characters and currencies. In the past I could easily change the settings to use [capslock] and then o"-->Ö, the came goes with [E-]-->€. Does anyone else have trouble with this in Bionic Beaver?

Configure keyboard shortcuts to CapsLock and Shift + CapsLock in 18.04 Bionic Beaver

as seen in the image there is not the usual keyboard and mouse tab, the settings are also different from say 16.04 etc.

I'm using 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) and have no problem using 'foreign' characters.

Install Gnome Tweaks from the Ubuntu Software Center. Navigate to Keyboard & Mouse and set Compose Key as per your choice.

See this useful link on achieving this.

Having set up my right windows key to perform as the compose key, pressing RightWin latches then pressing keys in the sequence shown below (using shift where necessary) produces the symbol shown.

Translate Page and Reader options listed are specific to my requirements but you can see that the Alt Gr can also be used for some characters.
