OK, so you have several input methods for one language? Is it old and modern Tamil? Then toggling perhaps makes sense, I don't know. It can't visualize that situation, but explain if you care to, it is interesting. I have another situation, namely I prefer - 0 + a = å : + a = ä : + o = ö - etc. to be active all the time. Though I type mostly in English I type in Swedish often enough not to want to enable/disable it each time. I haven't used it long enough to be able to say if it interferes with "normal" typing somehow. The :keywords in Elisp (if they start with 'a' or 'o'), perhaps. But for elisp-mode, I can add a hook to disable it - I never do Elisp in Swedish. To have it "always on" is part of the point to it all - this (input) method, and the compose key solution - if I *did* want to enable it back and forth, I might as well change the entire layout of the keyboard. -- Emanuel Berg, programmer-for-rent.
