922 One advanced command useful with most of the others described here
923 is @kbd{C-q}, which ``quotes'' the next character so that it is
924 entered literally (@pxref{Inserting Text,,,emacs,The GNU Emacs
925 Manual}). For example, pressing @kbd{?} ordinarily brings up a list
926 of completion possibilities. If you want to (for example) search for
927 an actual @samp{?} character, the simplest way is to insert it using
928 @kbd{C-q ?}. This works the same in Emacs and stand-alone Info.
