Hi I sometimes want to use the german quotes such as „ ” “ mostly in LaTeX mode: (Using for example \usepackage[german]{babel} \usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc} ) So I added to the quail package latin-pre the following entries (quail-define-package "german-prefix" "Latin-1" "DE>" t "German (Deutsch) input method with prefix modifiers Key translation rules are: \"A -> Ä -> \"O -> Ö, \"U -> Ü, \"s -> ?ß \"' -> ” \"` -> „ \"\" -> “ " nil t nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil t) (quail-define-rules ("\"A" ?Ä) ("\"O" ?Ö) ("\"U" ?Ü) ("\"a" ?ä) ("\"o" ?ö) ("\"u" ?ü) ("\"`" ?„) ("\"'" ?”) ("\"\"" ?“) ("\"s" ?ß) ("\" " ?\") ) The work well in fundamental mode, but as I found out not correctly in a LaTeX mode. The double " " --> lead to ¨ now I just realized that this also happens in mail and in text mode so maybe the culprit is something else. In any case I would appreciate any comment on this issue.
