Thanks for the quick response! The third option,
(set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8) seems to work the best of the three. (The first two didn't have a noticeable effect for me.) I do notice, though, and perhaps this is the expected behavior (I am not knowledgeable about multiple languages in Emacs), that now when the keyboard setting is /not/ U.S. Extended, and I press C-\, the (global, that is, visible in the OS X menubar) keyboard changes to U.S. Extended, and C-\ again doesn't switch out. If I choose another input method with C-x RET C-\, then C-\ will toggle between them within Emacs, but not globally. Is the above line something that's appropriate to leave in a .emacs file, given that I don't always leave they keyboard as U.S. Extended? Thanks again for the quick, and effective, reply! //JT On Jul 18, 4:00 pm, Seiji Zenitani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Does any of below lines improve your issue? > > Seiji > > 1. > (setq default-input-method "MacOSX") > > 2. > (setq mac-pass-key-to-system-on-read-only-buffer t) > ;; (setq mac-pass-key-to-system-on-read-only-buffer nil) > > 3. > (set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8) > > On 2008/07/18, at 15:38, Joshua Taylor wrote: > > > > >Hi, > > >I just downloaded the Summer 2008 Carbon Emacs, and I'm running on OS > >X 10.5.4.
