As I mentioned: it is unlikely that one needs more than one active input method in math mode. I doubt that people will be inconvenienced much if LaTeX-math-mode (actually, we should at some point of time see whether we can do a TeX-math-mode, too) happens to switch off the document-wide input method inside of math. So I don't think this would be really a show-stopper, except that compatibility would introduce somewhat more work. In any case: a good selection and display mechanism is something that input methods could use in general. If some AUCTeX developer were to contribute that to upstream Emacs, it should be possible to design it in a manner where the same code and interface can be used (conditionally compiled) by whatever Emacs 22 compatibility code we'd provide. Something like that. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ auctex mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
