Any more hints? > I understand. The point is, that I don't want to use the system supplied input method because there is no such input method like german-prefix or TeX. As I'm switching my system input method from time to time to english, I want to be able to enter german umlauts in a friendly manner. >> I'm using carbon emacs now for some time but I never figured out how >> to solve that issue.

Use Options -> Aquamacs Multilingual Environment -> Use System Input Method to turn it on or off - it's switched on by default. Patch by Taiichi Hashimoto I compared both patches and found out that there are significant differences. I also found some changes which look to me like the additional functionality for disabling the system wide input method. I also found out that in carbon emacs it's possible to exit the system input method by calling the function `mac-exit-inline-input- method'. But I'm unsure if it is the "right thing"; and if it is intended as a public interface for disabling the system input method? What do you think?
