Input method

Use the input methods to write in non-English languages, such as the slovak input method for the Slovak language.

Some useful options (for me):

  • tex for TeX mathematics,
  • emoji for Emoji pictograms,
  • slovak or slovak-querty for Slovak diacritics.

Use the TeX input method to enter non-ASCII characters, such as ellipsis (…) written as \ldots in TeX.

Table 1: Input methods and emoji

C-x \ toggle input method for one character
C-h C-\ describe input method
C-x 8 RET insert character

Remember the recently used input methods across Emacs sessions.
