I have three other bind file weirdnesses \bind "C-S-%" "unicode-insert 00A7" # section sign \bind "C-'" "unicode-insert 0027" # dumb right single quote \bind "'" "quote-insert single" # smart single quote The latter two I did because I wanted to have the ' key act as a smart single quote. The results are however: [cid:image001.jpg@01D31781.1F2DED80] So I still have to use the dialog box to do these bindings. The smart single quote is really weird, and I don't understand quite what I did in the dialog box to get the right result, but here's what it looks like: [cid:image002.jpg@01D31781.1F2DED80] Again, punctuation marks need to be spelled out in the bind file. Try "C-S-percent", "C-apostrophe" and "apostrophe" respectively. Mind you, I have no idea why LyX chokes on punctuation marks in the key combination specifications of the bind file, but that seems to be what is happening. Paul
