Yes, indeed. Also, if I'm writing purely in Spanish (say), I can simply
change the input method to spanish-postfix (or another variant).
But the nice thing about the M-' binding inserting the non-spacing
accent is that it makes it possible to *change* the current character to
the accented version with a single keystroke. Very useful when revising
what I have written as I sometimes forget the odd accent here and there.
Thank you,
eric
