Subject: Preventing accidental prefix match in input-method
Date: Fri, 23 Nov 2018 11:40:17 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <jwvefbbu51d.fsf-monnier+emacs@gnu.org> (raw)

I'd like to setup an input method where I have a mapping

    \b  =>  β

but where I'd like it that when the user enters `\beta`
the result is `\beta` rather than `βeta`.

I know I can do it by adding mappings

    \ba  =>  \ba
    \bb  =>  \bb
    \bc  =>  \bc
    \bd  =>  \bd
    \be  =>  \be
    ...

but that would blow up my input method by a factor 50.
Is there a better solution?


        Stefan
