No so far as I know (though it can be done simply enough in elisp), but as far as I can see, it's really not very important. You could easily write an elisp function to split apart the composed components to allow easier editing, e.g., by putting a space after the base character (a user could then re-compose them by deleting the space). However given the shortness of such sequences in all but the rarest cases, I expect most users simply wouldn't bother to use such a function, and would probably just delete the accents and re-add them if they were incorrect. -Miles -- Next to fried food, the South has suffered most from oratory. -- Walter Hines Page
