Hi all, PMFJI but perhaps I can help. It seems to me that José wants a global "dead-key" behavior for his keyboard, that is: type in the accent first, then the accented letter, for _every_ accent. José, am I correct?
If so: is this problem LyX-specific? Does your keyboard behave differently in, say, Gedit or LibreOffice? If not: perhaps you have accidentally selected a Spanish layout _without_ dead keys. Can you check your keyboard preferences? You have to go beyond the "layout" category and look for a "variant" which has the dead keys, e.g. "Spanish - Sun dead keys" or "Spanish - including tilde dead key".
