[STUMP] non-english keyboard layout

[Carlos Konstanski]

I recently switched my locale and keyboard layout to German
iso-8859-15.  When I do a C-t ! to run a shell command, I cannot enter
certain characters.  For example: ~ is moved to where the ] key is.
You have to hit M-] twice to get the character because it's one of
those that, if hit only once, will modify the keystroke that comes
after it.  The sequence M-] a gives you ã.

Anyway, is there a quick and easy answer to why the little stump
minibuffer doesn't obey the same keystrokes as everything else?  Or do
I need to dig?

Thanks,
