I just tried normal copy/paste using external data and it worked just
fine. I swear I tried that yesterday and it didn't work.
I sincerely apologize for wasting the mailing list's time. I can only
claim temporary (I hope) insanity.
Thanks for taking the time to respond to my mail.

Once upon a time external paste would work via a special external
paste option. I read the docs for 1.5.0rc1 and saw that now the middle
button is to be used for pasting. Of course by default there is no
middle buttons in OS X land but I have a multi button mouse and I used
USB Overdrive to configure how it works. I took one of my extra
buttons and configured it to be the middle mouse button, the fourth
mouse button and the fifth mouse button (as defined by USB overdrive)
without much joy. Setting the extra button to be the 'middle mouse
button' did cause LYX to paste but it pasted from its internal buffer
rather than from the external one.
Is there a keyboard shortcut for external paste? Is there a known
setting to get external paste working on OS X using USB Overdrive?
Thanks,
Yaron
P.S. I did try to internet search for a solution and I checked the
mail archives but I couldn't find anything. I also checked the bug
list for 1.5. I'm sorry if this question has already been answered but
I tried my best to find that answer and failed.
Command V should pastes the most recent copied selection regardless of
whether it is external or internal. In addition you have the Paste
Recent menu to paste recent internally copied selections.
If that doesn't work for you, could you could you please give details on
your configuration (language, etc). I have tried with Latin and Cyrillic
characters and both work fine for me.
