Subject: How to enter for example \200 offered by ispell in its buffer *Choices*
Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2015 21:34:15 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <DUB124-W43AF1E10F3889665196BF1A8A20@phx.gbl> (raw)

The options offered by Ispell in the buffer *Choices* are associated with
characters--actually keys--that can be entered to select the respective
option. If there are not too many options, digits and letters are sufficient
to identify any of them. But from time to time it happens that there are

If there are many options, digits and letters are not sufficient to identify
each of them. In that case ispell (more precisely the function
ispell-command-loop) also uses characters as ^? and \200.

The following example shows such a situation: These are the options presented
in the buffer *Choices* after doing a ispell-complete-word on "Abf" using
Hunspell together with a German alternate dictionary.

Now the question: How do I enter ^? or \200 in this situation?

I gave C-x 8 RET which is bound to insert-char a try, but C-x was ignored and
pressing 8 lead to the selection of Option (8).

NB: ispell-command-loop uses read-key to read the users choice.

Is there some kind of input method or key-map that allows to enter such
characters (or keys) in this case?
