Ah great! Precisely what I was looking for, thanks very much. Ah
shouldn't that variable be customizable via customize????

Sigh, if and when confuses me always, thanks for pointing it out, sorry.

Well the issue is in that old code, maniac-fill-mode, was/is a minor
mode.

When toggled on it executed a maniac filling function with every key
stroke. This is why there was the hook call

(add-hook 'post-command-hook 'do-maniac-fill)

When turning the mode off I thought the function would be removed from
that hook, but now I am not so sure.

In any case my problem is, even with your new improved functions
my-test-nohbrew etc, what is the best way to execute the function??


Because if I move the cursor into a math environment I want to turn the
input method of, without calling a function, because if I need to call
an extra function I turn it off directly.

Thanks again
