Re: [m17n-list] Update to math-latex

[handa]

Hi, sorry for the late response.  I basically agree with your idea, but
your change breaks backward compatiblity and Backspace key doesn't work
as expected.  So, I tried to make math-latex customizable for those who
prefer the new behavior.

Could you please try the attached one which introduces a customizable
variable "with-backslash-prefix"?  The default value is 0, so it works
as previous.   When you customize the variable to 1, it should work as
your new idea.

The way of customizing:
(1) Use m17n-im-config program (if you have it).
(2) Directly edit the file ~/.m17n.d/config.mic as this:

((input-method t math-latex)
 (variable
  (with-backslash-prefix nil 1)))
