The latin-1-postfix method allows for inserting a lot of nonletters.
There is no latin-9-postfix, but latin-9-prefix allows for inserting
the Euro sign.
Maybe there is a misunderstanding here?
Originally, I was asking for a C-x 8 sequence to insert the Euro sign
(which is not part of Latin-1, only of Latin-9), but the theme of the
thread has since changed:
Suppose I use the german-prefix input method, which allows convenient
input of ä but not é. I don't want to use the latin-1-prefix input
method because it changes the behavior of the ' key which I don't
want. Nevertheless, I have a friend named André and so I want to be
able to type his name correctly. At the moment, I use C-x 8 ' e to
type the nonascii character.
C-x 8 uses an obsolete method for entering characters, so it's a good
idea to replace it with something more modern. But, IMVHO, just
telling people to use input methods won't cut it. For entering a
single character, I have to type C-u C-\, select the latin-1-prefix
input method, type ' e to enter the character, then type C-u C-\ to
switch back to my normal german-prefix input method. This is
inconvenient.
While we're changing C-x 8 anyway, support could be added for entering
non-Latin-1 characters, as well. (In particular, the Euro sign.)
