I shall miss the shorthand of ucs-i when ucs-insert is fully replaced by insert-char. I switch a lot between UK, Thai, Tai Tham and IPA keyboards (the latter three defined in Emacs), but I find the abbreviated commands set-i and toggle-inp much easier for switching keyboards than trying to remember the various shortcuts. One of the issues with using the full set of Unicode characters is that many are easily misread when there are no constraints. Many Greek capitals look just like Roman capitals, and Latin 'o', Greek '=CE=BF' and Cyrillic '=D0=BE' may be indistinguishable. This is not a good idea for writing code. Richard.
