Here it is 2.2.2 on OS X and I see this character on screen in the editor. You do not see this because Win and Linux (I checked only Linux) display "Ctrl+Tab" but Mac does not. There it is "Control-missingsymbol". As far as I understand, this is generated by LyX internally according to platform. (This is so that new buffer maps to "Command-N" etc.) But strangely pdflatex output translates this then to Tab whereas XeTeX outputs an empty square at best (show output anyway). I guess that means anyone on Mac who tries to actually print out the docs and wants the presumed easy way to better looking fonts that are not in the pdflatex dialog and therefore chooses XeTeX will run into this error. It certainly now effects two of three Arabic files in docs as they are if you are on a Mac. Since it is generated that way and should change according to platform it is not possible to just write it out. Somehow I thought this LyX-automaton would gets it clues from mac.bind, but there Tab is spelled out. greetings Mike
