Dear Ben,many thanks for your reply. I am forwarding it to the mailing list that others can follow the discussion:
-------------------------------- Thanks for the answer, First point: ======== What I mean is that when you choose LyX:Preferences -> Language Settings -> DefaultKeyboard binding should be related to the Keyboard of your system not the OS user interface language. Example I use Windows 10 with UK language interface but with a French Azerty Keyboard because it's a French keyboard in my laptop (speaking of hardware). Even that I changed LyX interface Language to French but I didn't notice big change in the default key bidding:
LyX:Preferences -> Editing -> Shortcuts Second point: ===========LyX favorise "American dictionary" and overlook the other English dictionaries:
This is easily verified when you choose: LyX:Document -> Settings -> Language -> Englishthen LyX use automatically "American" en_US.dic nothing else while in my spirit "English" refer to 3 or 4 international languages, the most important (historically) of then being the Britannic languages. When you save your custom spell checking words, LyX consider them related to en_US.dic. Now there is at least 6 options of English languages in the document settings: * English (this is supposed English International but LyX use en_US for this option)
* English (USA), LyX save the words in file called pwl_american.dict * English (USA), LyX save the words in file called pwl_british.dict * English (Australia) " " * English (Canada) " " etc Third point: =========Most of the American dictionaries are quite disappointing. I think American care very little about this Hungarian spell checker and favorise Aspell. The dictionaries are poorly developed for this Language and come most from the SCOWL site:
http://wordlist.aspell.net/hunspell-readme/ and as noticed by the authors there: Quote:/If none of these dictionaries suite you (for example, maybe you want the normal dictionary that also includes common variants) additional dictionaries can be generated at http://app.aspell.net/create or by modifying speller/make-hunspell-dict in SCOWL. Please do let me know if you end up publishing a customized dictionary./
I spent the last 3 or 4 days improving this US dictionary <https://sourceforge.net/projects/hunspell/files/Spelling%20dictionaries/en_US/> (date 2007-08-29), that I consider *the best* after a lot of testing and I added more than 350 new words related my own field "Mathematics". I spent hours and hours browsing index of Mathematic books and checking google for the consistency of words and if they are more or less accepted by the international community.
Example: New word: geometrization/S geometrize/GASD uniformize/GASDto say the least (how come on an American dictionary forget about a name like "Poincaré"?)
