To support changing quit-char correctly, we need changes that probably
will not happen before the release.  Until then, you can safely assume
that quit-char will be C-g, especially on windowed displays.

I believe you mean input-mode.  Input methods have nothing to do with
quit-char.

Yes, but many other places will not obey a change in quit-char, so you
are in good company.
