Should toggling the input method be on a key binding that is easy to hit by mistake? I don't use that command, so I don't know if it needs to be on a quickly hit key. If not, should we perhaps move it to a binding with a prefix (e.g. C-x)? - Drew -----Original Message----- From: help-gnu-emacs-bounces+drew.adams=oracle.com@gnu.org [mailto:help-gnu-emacs-bounces+drew.adams=oracle.com@gnu.org]On Behalf Of John Russell Sent: Monday, November 21, 2005 11:20 AM To: help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org Subject: Re: Emacs non-ascii characters Pascal Bourguignon writes: > John Russell writes: > >> I just compiled emacs from CVS a few weeks ago.

Thank you very much. I must have been fat-fingering C-\ from time to time and turning that on inadvertantly. Thanks again. John
