Jorge Hernando I'm not familiar with Fedora, but on Mint (and this presumably also works on Ubuntu) I went into the system keyboard preferences (not LyX preferences) and set the "compose" key (in my case to the right Alt key). So in any text application, the combination Alt+' a and the combination Alt+a ' both produce á (with Alt being the right Alt key). This also works in LyX.

Don't forget to use your new kmap.

Re: LyX 2.3.5.2 Relesed
Yes, I started it with the checkbox on the last page of the installer. I use Windows 10 and was using administrator privileges to install LyX 2.3.5.2. (The same happened with an ealier version of LyX.) Strangely, this time I could not activate Acrobat Reader DC, even though I found the output file. After a restart, everything was OK.

After a restart, everything is OK. Not really a bug, more a hiccup. Kind regards, Bernd Hello Bernd, Thank you for your feedback. Can you please provide some more information? Which operating system are you using? How exactly do you start LyX for the first time? E.g. on Windows there is a checkbox on the last page of the installer. Or do you simply launch the program like you would usually do? Which pdf viewer are you using? Eugene -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
no accents with dead keys

So there is no update, and Synaptic etc correctly see this. Thanks Kees. I initially thought that message was out of date, since I knew it had built for bionic (based on having installed it on Mint 19). After seeing your message, I clicked the information button in the upper right (I guess there really is a first time for everything) and got the expanded grid, which shows that it failed for Focal (only).
