It works for the TeX input method because its arg `translation-keys' of `quail-define-package' contains explicit key bindings: '(("\t" . quail-completion)) > The other issue is that TAB has a meaning while you're typing, so if > you type /'TAB in cyrillic-translit, you'd get two completion > candidates (/' and /'') instead of =A1=AF followed by the TAB character. > I think that's less useful to the user, since hitting TAB is so common > in all Emacs modes. It is difficult to find a completion key other than TAB.
