Ok, I'll be more explicit: characters like that work just fine. I don't
remember if I had to do something to make it work, but it works as
dead-keys, as far as I know. To take your example, in my keyboard I just
have to type ^-e
That's why I need ^-space to make a "^"; "^" works as dead-key.
But why do I need plain "^"? I made a figure in xfig and I exported it as
.eps. But in xfig I can't have subscripts and superscripts, and so I use
psfrag inside LyX.
I don't know if you have used psfrag, but if I have typed "x2" in xfig and
I really want it to be "x square", with 2 in superscript, I have to do,
inside the figure float, something like
\psfrag {x2} {$x^2$}
in tex style.
This would work if "^" would be just "^", but not if it is replaced by
\^{ }
I don't mean to say that there is no situation where \^{ } would be
useful; there probably is. But I would like to be able to make a plain "^"
in tex style, and perhaps in tex style we don't really need \^{ }...
But I really don't know.

Nuno Guerra
