It would be nice it these arguments could be made public permanently * in the LyX wiki or * in the Customisation guide (as preface to the keymaps section). maybe weighting the pros and cons of system bases via LyX keymap switching. > I haven't followed this thread very closely, and I do not use dead keys > --- I'm not sure how they're supposed to work at all --- so I don't feel > qualified to provide suggestions with regard to the original problem.

I suppose during the experimenting ther was one stage where both, the system and LyX defined dead keys which resulted in "double-dead" keys. This should of course not happen (but can arise if a pre-set keymap is activated and the system already defines dead keys). Günter
