This patch permits the user to type " _" using the latin-postfix input
method. ATM the user has to use the following sequence:
`SPC SPC DEL _'

I have no objection to the patch, but don't have time to evaluate it
(I'm travelling and only have occasionally Internet access).

FWIW, it strikes me that "C-q _" is less typing.

It's not consistent and it doesn't really save typing:
- "SPC _ _"
- "SPC C-q _"

I meant "SPC SPC DEL _".  As for "SPC _ _", it's of the same length,
so it doesn't save typing, either.

It wasn't clear in my initial message so it's my fault. In my patch, I
update the latin-postfix input-method so that one can type "SPC _ _"
instead of "SPC SPC DEL _".

Though I agree that it doesn't save typing compared to the method you
proposed, my approach saves typing compared to the current method and I
find my method faster to type because it's consistent with the other
combinations and it doesn't "break the flow".

I don't necessarily object to the change, I just wanted to point out
that alternatives better than "SPC SPC DEL _" do exist.

If everybody agrees, can it be merged?

My assignment number is #793656 though I don't think it is required for
such a tiny change.

Best,

Thanks; applied to trunk.

(I wish more of the ~ 200 people with write access would help with this
kind of thing.)

I agree with the patch because it provides the consistent
behavor of that input method; i.e. when latin-post converts
the typing of "xy" to "z", you can insert "xy" by typing
"xyy" without deactivating the input method.
