John,
Things are getting clearer now: you are right in that
ctrl-. has an effect (and yes, I know Ctrl is used
with other keys :). I've just typed Ctrl-. and
exported the file as latex. It translates to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (backslash-at-dot)
Ctrl-.12 therefore doesn't output what you expect in
my setup.
I guess that's why I get "command disabled" message in
math mode. Output is just a dot, therefore I didn't
notice the difference before.
Your result is probably different because you use a
different binding file, right? Mine is cua.bind. Also,
the most important difference seems to be our OS's :).
I use windows, and I suspect now there isn't a compose
key functionality available on windows for standard
keyboards (If I understand correctly what a compose
key does).
