Subject: Re: [PATCH] input-method: french "e dans l'o"
Date: Sat, 07 Sep 2013 11:01:42 +0200	[thread overview]

Yes, you definitely want the raw `oe' like in words: poêle, moelleux,  Noël, poésie, poète, coentreprise, coefficient...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%92#French

So OE will be far more frequent than O/ (postfix input) or /O (prefix input) and so far more annoying when typing a french text. 

I kept O/ /O because it was already chosen for the latin-9-input, and it seems better to have an uniform character sequence across all input methods. And for the national specific input method, since Ø does not exists in french, there is no clash.
