Re: Bug: iso-accents-mode and numerical keboard

[Hugues Mercier]

In the file iso-acc.el, the / (slash) is used as a pseudo accent
character, which causes the / key on the numerical keyboard to fail when
iso-accents-mode is enabled. Note that the / key is only used when
iso-languages is set to "latin-1" (default setting).

This can be solved by using | (or any other key not appearing on the
numerical keyboard) instead of / as a pseudo accent character. The
following lines need to be changed in iso-acc.el:

Line 139
(?| (?A . ?\305) (?E . ?\306) (?O . ?\330) (?a . ?\345) (?e . ?\346)

Line 170
(defvar iso-accents-enable '(?' ?` ?^ ?\" ?~ ?|)

There are also a few lines of comments that need to be updated.

I hope it helps,

Hugues Mercier.
