I find the latin-4-postfix input method good for entering macrons: | postfix | examples ------------+---------+---------- macron | - | a- -> ā I have this configured as the default: ;; Latin-4 facilitates macron accents (e.g. a- => ā). ;; n.b. If `current-language-environment' is customized, it clobbers this. (setq default-input-method "latin-4-postfix") -Phil
