Exactly! This is a tangent topic, but let me share my experience. I don't use any portuguese IM for a long time. To type in any latin-based language I use the "us altgr-intl" IM and the compose key when needed (seldom). Of course that such a solution makes sense when one is willing to dismiss old muscle memory (of using the pt keyboard layout), and acquire a new habit. Now for the crucial point. Do you go back forth the US and PT IM a lot? In other words, how often do you type "cora;=C3=A3o"? Or do you use the "portuguese-prefix exclusively inside of Emacs? I'm trying to gather some user-experience when it comes to my toy project regarding input methods in Emacs. Thanks. -- Andr=C3=A9 A. Gomes "Free Thought, Free World"
