I have similar preferences to you. We just had a similar discussion on lyx-devel: https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=mid&q=20201120032750.3austjolf7ornvpg%40tallinn You mention that you "don't mind it in math mode". If you also don't mind *not* having it in math, then the solution is simple: rebind <Tab>. The default binding is the following: "command-alternatives completion-accept;cell-forward;tab-insert;outline-in;depth-increment" Just remove the "completion-accept" part in your rebinding. If you do want to keep autocompletion for math, then things are more complicated. I have a simple patch that does this, but you would have to compile LyX with the patch. If you by chance use Ubuntu, I can compile a .deb for you, but I can't compile for other platforms. Scott
