And finally, on LyX OS-X related question:
How can I use the "Ctrl" key in LyX key bindings? "C" is
apparently bound to the "Apple/Command" key and "M" is bound to
the "Alt" key. All this makes sense, of course, I would just like
to use the "Ctrl" key as well.
I believe this is a Qt/Mac limitation and so out of our control.

When you say "use Ctrl as well", do you mean you want Ctrl and
Command keys to be switched? If that's what you want, it requires
modifying the file
src/gui/kernel/qkeymapper_mac.cpp
in the qt-mac-opensource source distribution. I've done that and
have compiled LyX 1.5.3 with it. That way, LyX uses Apple/Command as
a meta key, and Ctrl as the control key. I can put that binary
online, and post more details on the QT patch, if anyone is
interested. I hadn't done that because I haven't had a chance to
work with the new version myself yet (my main LyX is still at
version 1.4).

Thanks Jens,
However, what I actually want is to use *both* keys within LyX.
Apparently (according to Bennett) this is not possible because of a
MacQt limitation.
