Sorry, this was a bug I accidentally introduced in revised AMS layouts
for version 1.5.2 (which is fixed in version 1.5.3). You can find
repaired files on the wiki at http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/AMS. You
actually only need to update amsmaths.inc. The version in LyX 1.5.3 has
a more elegant fix, but the one on the wiki is good enough to solve the
problem until you are ready to upgrade.

The Option key is somewhat special: unfortunatley, Lyx doesn't recognize the difference between Command-w (key binding for copy), and Option-w. But _some_ Option-key combinations are caught at a lower level and then work in a way that the analogous Command-key combination doesn't do. E.g., Option-u o produces the umlaut ö, but Command-u o doesn't. Here is an old reference on this issue: http://osdir.com/ml/editors.lyx.general/2004-09/msg00207.html That email was how I started using the patched Qt where Command and Ctrl are un-switched. I'm posting the patched binaries at http://www.uoregon.edu/~noeckel/LyX/ Starting to test it now, and already found another issue to add to the list: The key combinations M-~S-less and M-~S-greater aren't recognized anymore. So the xemacs binding for buffer-begin and buffer-end no longer work correctly. This holds for the official binaries (on Intel and PPC), and I see the same with my own builds. More precisely, it still works if I press Option as the Meta key, but not if I press Ctrl (for the official binary) as Meta. This used to work in LyX 1.4 - and the new behavior is clearly inconsistent. Jens

Although Qt defines all three, Qt::ControlModifier Qt::MetaModifier Qt::AltModifier as separate values, Lyx doesn't let us use them. The Option key is somewhat special: unfortunatley, Lyx doesn't recognize the difference between "Command-w" (key binding for "copy"), and "Option-w". But _some_ Option-key combinations are caught at a lower level and then work in a way that the analogous Command-key combination doesn't do. E.g., "Option-u o" produces the umlaut ö, but "Command-u o" doesn't. Here is an old reference on this issue: http://osdir.com/ml/editors.lyx.general/2004-09/msg00207.html That email was how I started using the patched Qt where Command and Ctrl are "un"-switched. I'm posting the patched binaries at http://www.uoregon.edu/~noeckel/LyX/ Starting to test it now, and already found another issue to add to the list: The key combinations "M-~S-less" and "M-~S-greater" aren't recognized anymore. So the xemacs binding for buffer-begin and buffer-end no longer work correctly. This holds for the official binaries (on Intel and PPC), and I see the same with my own builds. More precisely, it still works if I press "Option" as the Meta key, but not if I press "Ctrl" (for the official binary) as Meta. This used to work in LyX 1.4 - and the new behavior is clearly inconsistent. Jens
