RE: Typing accented text.

[Doug Lewan <dougl@shubertticketing.com>]

Sergei,

C-u C-\ (toggle-input-method) will let you select from a large number of input methods. If you want Russian, then respond with "russian-computer" or "cyrillic-yawerty" or "cyrillic-jis-russian" or "cyrillic-jcuken" or .... (Sorry, I don't know what the standard keyboard is.)

If you want to know what input methods are available, then type SPACE to see the list. For fun check out input method rfc1345". I don't know anyone who uses it, probably because it has more than anyone wants.

,Doug
