I am trying to create a Keyboard Shortcut for inserting Program Listing.
So I go to Tools/Preferences/Editing/Shortcuts, and find
"listing-insert" in the Function column. Then I double-click on this
element, and type Alt+I Shift+# ("#" as a reference to comment
statements in Python, etc., since many letters are already taken – I
need something that I can remember). The result is:
OK.. this seems to work, but now Alt+I doesn’t open up the Insert
sub-menu, so creating my own shortcut seems to have de-activated the
use of Alt+I…
After some experimentation, it seems like if I do Alt+I twice in a
row, i.e., Alt+I Alt+I, that re-activates the use of Alt+I to open the
Insert sub-menu. But now my short-cut for listing-insert stops to work…
What is going on? Did I choose an illegal short-cut? Or is there a bug?
When you used Alt-I plus Shift-#, you redefined Alt-I in such a way that
LyX then 'waits' for the next component, much as it does with Alt-M
(which can be followed by a whole ton of other things). That's
unavoidable. If LyX thinks you might type Shift-# next, then it isn't
going to do anything after you type Alt-I.'
What about Alt-Shift-#, as a single shortcut?
