Um, quoting the part of my mail that you omitted: The various latin-x input methods are certainly not good replacements, as they're quite a bit more heavyweight and intrusive (my standard input method is set to Japanese, and I often use C-x 8 to enter the odd accented letter or symbol into english text). IOW: C-x 8 is very nice for _occasional_ use; input-methods are too heavy-weight if you don't use a latin input method as your regular input method. -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
