Great thing. But then how does one then return to the > previous input method? To previous input method or to no input method at all? If the former "C-u C-\ INPUT-METHOD RET" will switch INPUT-METHOD on. If the latter, just C-\ will switch off the currently active input method. > Note: when I do Mx- describe-input-method, the minibuffer prompt says > > Describe input method (default, current choice): > > If I then hit RET, I get Debugger telling me "No input method is > activated now". > > The buffer I'm doing this in (if it matters) is utf-8 encoded. The buffer encoding has nothing to do with input method. An input method is a way to generate characters that are absent from your keyboard, by typing combinations of existing characters. Buffer encoding is how the text will be encoded when written to a disk file or sent to another process.
