Maybe you did if the answer was to change the language environment. But I think my issue was one of misunderstanding terminology. The meaning of "default" in this context is not what I thought it meant; instead, I think what I wanted to know how to do is deactivate an input method. toggle-input-method does it by invoking deactivate-input-method which unfortunately is not an interactive function (why not?). But easy enough to invoke with eval-expression should I wish to. thank you, eric -- Eric S Fraga via gnus (Emacs 31.0.50 2024-12-17) on Debian 12.8
