Ok First a basic question: When I do describe-input-method I see a lot of stuff 'described' However unlike describe-function|variable etc that links to the relevant stuff here there is no such. Is there any way to get to the input method (source) from an activated input-method? Strangely even describe-key shows (say) self-insert-command for "\" in tex-input-method which seems strange if not plain wrong. [Yeah I ran grep on the elisp sources and found a quail and an international and ... Just asking if there is easier way to not get lost]
