Thanks. I did but it still does not replace <= with \leq.


It's a little funky to work with. After making the change in 
preferences, go into a math inset and type anything, watching the status 
line at the bottom of the window. You will probably see the 
(short-lived) message 'Autocorrect Off ("!" to enter)'. Type a bang 
character (exclamation point), and then try typing <=.


When you turn on autocorrect with the bang character, you'll see another 
(short-lived) message saying that typing a space takes you out of 
autocorrect mode.


Thanks, that works. I wonder whether anyone is using it given how hidden 
it is.

I think you're talking about the following enhancement, which has not
been implemented:

Yes, that looks like what I had in mind. Good to know.

Alas, I have no idea with this, since math-delim is also active in text
mode.

You can use
command-alternatives math-function ; text-function

This will try the first function, and if it is disabled (as most math
functions are outside math), it will try the second.

The "normal function" needs to be reconstructed, e.g.
self-insert §


Thanks. So far I have been setting shortcuts through the Preferences 
dialog. I don't know how to follow your description exactly.


Maybe you can exemplify it? For example, I want to set "(" (or Shift+9) 
in math mode to the math delimiter "(" but want to keep the normal 
brackets in normal mode.

Shortcuts dedicated to math mode

[Daniel]

Hi

Is it possible to have a keyboard shortcut dedicated to math mode so 
that it only works in matn mode but does something else (or its normal 
function) when not in math mode?
