Günter, The more I try, the less I understand... Nothing seems to work as it should! See the reports of my attempts below

(as proposed earlier in this > thread). I tried this in my /home/daniel/.lyx/bind/swpperso.bind file. (It's the modified sciword.bind file that I use; it contains the same shortcuts as in my former SciWord.) It did not work. Then I noticed that this file eventually calls latinkeys.bind. So I tried to edit it directly, replacing the suggested line with \bind "cacute" "unicode-insert 0x00e7" This, to my great disappointment, did not work either (always acute-accented c). > > Hope this helps. > > > BTW: Alternatives that work here are > > 1.

I tried this too, and it did not act as I wanted: M-, enters math mode!... There mus be a conflict with another binding, but I was unable to locate it. > > Günter I think all this is becoming unreasonably complicated. I wonder if I had not better wait for LyX 1.6. Possibly the shortcut editor will help me fix this... -- Daniel Clément
