Hi,
I am writing a lot of text in German using
auctex-cdlatex and flyspell, which works fine, except
that I use an american keyboard layout and have trouble
to insert German umlaute. Actually I just want to type
the american work-around like 'ae' for 'À' and replace
it using abbrevs. The problem with this is that I would
have to create an abbrev for every german word with
umlaute... so, is there a way to let abbrev lern from
the displayed mistakes of flyspell? Or is there another
nice way to create umlaute without switching the
keyboard?
Greetings!
Fabian

What about adding a key combo for inserting ä ?
(global-set-key (kbd "M-a") (lambda () (interactive) (insert "ä")))
Cheers

(you meant 'ä' instead of 'À'; your slrn sends UTF-8 declared as
iso-8859-15.)

Use the german-postfix input method:
- `M-x set-input-method RET german-postfix RET' (C-x RET C-\, <menu-bar>
<options> <mule> <set-input-method>)
- `M-x toggle-input-method RET' (C-\, <menu-bar> <options> <mule>
<toggle-input-method>)

|
| German (Deutsch) input method
|
| ae -> ä
| aee -> ae
| oe -> ö
| oee -> oe
| ue -> ü
| uee -> ue
| sz -> ß

|
|

Thanks, that looks great. There is probably a chance to set
the 'german-postfix' as local variable in a tex buffer? I
tried something like
% german-postfix: t
% set-input-method: german-postfix
% input-method: german-postfix
I would be even better, if is connected to the 'german8'
dictionary :-)
Thanks!
Fabian

... could work, but requires confirmation that `default-input-method'
is safe [1]. But you still need to activate the method using `C-\'.
Alternatively, do it in a suitable hook (`LaTeX-mode-hook'?). (See
the discussion in
<http://thread.gmane.org/v9d4urtab2.fsf@marauder.physik.uni-ulm.de>.)

An input method is not directly related to a dictionary, so this
doesn't seem useful to me.
Bye, Reiner.
[1] Maybe it should be marked a safe by default?

Thanks a lot! The local variable way works for me fine; now
I have to get used to it ;-)

If you are using X-Windows, I would recommend xmodmap. Once you have
configured your personal ~/.Xmodmap file, you'll get completely independent
of the keyboard: you keep your personal layout independently of the
hardware.
And the layout applies to all programs, not only emacs.
Cheers, Peter
