Subject: Re: inputting characters by hexadigit
Date: Sun, 20 Jul 2008 21:46:22 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <jwv8wvwdnb5.fsf-monnier+emacs@gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87r69oqojm.fsf@jurta.org> (Juri Linkov's message of "Sun, 20 Jul 2008 23:28:59 +0300")
AFAIK, the main use of C-q is to insert a char by hitting the
corresponding key, handy when that key is bound to something else than
self-insert-command.
So by using chars ? # or \ to mean something else, we get into the
situation where the user might not know how to insert #, ?, or \ when
those keys are bound to non-self-inserting commands. I think this is
a serious problem.
