Insertion of decimal digits with digit-argument

Insertion of decimal digits with digit-argument

[Nordlöw]

Hey again, Hackers!

I would like to be able to insert decimal digits with digit-argument.

Therefore I would like the key combination "C-3 7" or "M-3 7" to
insert three sevens instead of becoming a digit-argument of 37. How
can I make this happen?


Thanks in advance,

Nordlöw

C-u <number> C-q <octal ASCII value of digit> RET

Digits 0-9 are in octal: 060...071.

You can use C-u inside the universal argument (try "C-h k C-u" for a full
description).  "C-3 C-u 7" inserts "777", as does "M-3 C-u 7".
