C-\ runs the command toggle-input-method which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `mule-cmds.el'. It is bound to C-\, . (toggle-input-method &optional ARG INTERACTIVE) Enable or disable multilingual text input method for the current buffer. Only one input method can be enabled at any time in a given buffer. The normal action is to enable an input method if none was enabled, and disable the current one otherwise. Which input method to enable can be determined in various ways--either the one most recently used, or the one specified by `default-input-method', or as a last resort by reading the name of an input method in the minibuffer. With a prefix argument, read an input method name with the minibuffer and enable that one. The default is the most recent input method specified (not including the currently active input method, if any). When called interactively, the optional arg INTERACTIVE is non-nil, which marks the variable `default-input-method' as set for Custom buffers. [back] -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
