For me, personally, it is in some cases preferable to using input methods: I use german-prefix as an input method and have gotten used to ' being a regular self-inserting key, so switching to latin-1-prefix won't make me happy. Nevertheless, I sometimes want to write =E9 or =E0 or the like. For this, C-x 8 is convenient. Now there is sometimes the need for entering the Euro symbol. I suggested a C-x 8 binding for that some time ago, but people objected that C-x 8 inserts Latin-1 characters, so people might be confused with now inserting Latin-9 characters in some cases. Do you think that there should be a keybinding of some sort to insert the Euro character? (A keybinding that is not in an input method.) Do you think it should be a C-x 8 binding? (Because of 8859 unification, the distinction between Latin-1 and Latin-9 are becoming less relevant. When Emacs uses Unicode internally, the distinction will be irrelevant I guess. That would be an argument in favor of C-x 8.) Do you think a C-x 9 series of bindings, paralleling C-x 8 but in Latin-9 instead of Latin-1, would be useful? (What about the poor Latin-2 folks, though?) kai --=20 Silence is foo!
