The best would be "self-insert ⦁" I had the general case in mind, but of course one can just directly insert such symbols. Note, for other readers (JMarc knows this), that you can also use unicode-insert and give the unicode value. Riki

If you're running LyX under Windows, you can use the scripting utility AutoHotKey to get this functionality. Just create a file called, e.g., macros.ahk and, to get your desired functionality, add the line :*:\textbullet::⦁ where ⦁ is the unicode bullet; you can of course add as many such lines as you please to insert all the symbols you want. (Be sure to save the file with UTF-8 encoding.) To activate the script, right click on it and select *Run Script*. (I think if you drop it into your Documents directory it will run by default at startup.) I reckon you could use Applescript on a Mac to do something similar. Dunno about Linux. -chris

How to populate ~/.texlive2018/texmf-var/fonts

Shortcuts for symbols in text
In LyX one can cunfigure the shortcuts and even add new ones under preferences. Like I was able to add a new shortcut by typing "math-insert \bullet" and passing a shortcut to it I would like to know if it is possible to add shortcuts to normal symbols in text, like "\textbullet" which i am able to add through the UI with mouse. I tryed to type "insert \textbullet" and few others, but it said "wrong LyX function". Do you know what i need to type?

The bib file is encoded in latin1 (ISO-8859-1), not utf8. That's the
problem.

I guess, this shouldn't be so. No, that's correct. The other directories are user directories reserved for your own stuff. Jürgen > I used .configure, make, and sudo make install.
