Subject: bug#18922: 24.3; Not clear how to use TeX input method
Date: Sat, 01 Nov 2014 23:17:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <54555BFD.6030008@gmail.com> (raw)
It is not clear how to use certain combinations for the input method
`tex-input-method'.
The command `describe-input-method` displays the following information:
key character(s) [type a key (sequence) and select one from the
list]
-------- ------------
\"A Ӓ Ǟ Ä
It is however unclear how select one item from this list.
The info page Input Methods [1] does not say anything about it. The info
page
Select an input method[2] contains misleading information. Indeed it
suggests
to use the function M-x quail-show-key to find out how to type a character,
but invoking this function on a ü for instance leads to the sequence "\"u"
which does not produce a ü but a ṳ. Also, the ṳ is first underlined which
suggests that more input can be added to select the right character.
I could nowhere find a clue, which input can be added to select the
right character, that is, a ü.
