I was not aware of this, but it does not work excatly as described here:
I need the arrow keys to parse the environment names from top to bottom.
Are there underlined words in the drop-down list for you ? Mine has none.
No, there are no shortcut letters underlined in the drop-down list.
It's relatively standard behavior (though I suppose not guaranteed) for
an active selection box to respond to keystrokes by trying to match the
start of the selection. (Try it on a select control on a web page some
time.) In fact, with LyX 1.4.1 (on WinXP, anyway), it will match the
first few characters if you type quickly enough. For instance, in a
standard article, 'alt-p (space)' followed by 'ly' will jump to
'LyX-Code' if you type the 'y' quickly enough; otherwise it will jump to
'List' and then ignore the 'y', since no environment starts with 'y'.
This is consistent for me across two XP Pro boxes and one XP Home box,
and IIRC has worked since LyX 1.3.6 at least.
