Nice idea. I often forget the usefulness of physical cheat sheets. I've been meaning to print some. > I forgot to mention that Ctrl-Shift-u allows me to subsequently enter > code points to input unicode characters in LyX on another machine > running Ubuntu 13.10 So you are saying that it works as you expect on this machine?

I've now unset Ctrl-Shift-U in > the key bindings and still see this behaviour. This is why I think it's Qt-related. I don't think there's a built-in LyX binding for Ctrl+Shift+U. Best, Scott
