[TxMt] Re: LaTeX-Bundle: handle umlaute and special characters

[Matthias Conrad]

Hi,

thanks for the answer, though my request was in an other direction. I  
will explain it with your example:

I want to type "Doppelgänger" (I have a german keyboard) and see  
exactly this typing in TM. However, in my TeX-File (suppose name.tex)  
TM writes "Doppelg\"{a}nger", especially without any "key  
equivalent". ... with the described benefit.

Thanks a lot

Matthias
