John, Things are getting clearer now: you are right in that ctrl-. has an effect (and yes, I know Ctrl is used with other keys :). I've just typed Ctrl-. and exported the file as latex. It translates to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (backslash-at-dot) Ctrl-.12 therefore doesn't output what you expect in my setup. I guess that's why I get "command disabled" message in math mode. Output is just a dot, therefore I didn't notice the difference before. Your result is probably different because you use a different binding file, right? Mine is cua.bind. Also, the most important difference seems to be our OS's :). I use windows, and I suspect now there isn't a compose key functionality available on windows for standard keyboards (If I understand correctly what a compose key does).
