I just compiled emacs from CVS a few weeks ago. When I enter a double-quote
and then some characters ( usually vowels ) the two characters get replaced
with some other character, like a 'u' with an umlaut or some other accent
mark.
I have been searching around for it but I don't even know what this "feature"
is called. I looked in the emacs news ( C-h n ) and found something about
quail which I'm not sure is related.
Anyway, how do I turn this off? I want to be able to type strings in code
again without accents. Thanks.
John

This is a prefix input method.
You can try: C-\
to toggle-input-method.
Or C-x set-input-method RET
to select another input method.
Perhaps set the default input method?
C-h v default-input-method RET

In deep sleep hear sound,
Cat vomit hairball somewhere.

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