Subject: what mode?: double-quote yields nothing until next keystroke; how to turn off?
Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2007 11:10:34 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <999367.32069.qm@web53311.mail.re2.yahoo.com> (raw)

Somehow I keep accidentally getting Emacs into a mode 
in which a double-quote keystroke yields nothing until

I press another key, at which time Emacs inserts the 
two characters I meant (or one character composed from

them).

What mode is this?  (Where is its documentation?  I
haven't had any luck googling and otherwise looking
for it.)

How do I control that mode?  

Mainly, how do I turn it back off (or disable it
entirely)?

Also, how did I probably activate it?


(emacs-version reports:
"GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of
2007-06-02 on RELEASE")

Thanks,
Daniel
