How about starting with a change that would include in the description the place where the input method is defined? I think this would be a valuable documentation feature. Currently, you need to grep the relevant sources for the name of the input method. > Strangely even describe-key shows (say) self-insert-command for "\" in > tex-input-method > which seems strange if not plain wrong. It's not wrong: Emacs doesn't know better. But maybe there should be some addition that is related to the currently active input method.
