Nothing. Shortcuts depend on language. OTOH, you can create own shortcuts and 
use them.
(Tools->Preferences->Editing->Shortcuts)
They should be saved in your lyx-userdir/bind/user.bind
Anything there should be valid, independent of language.

Keyboard shortcuts in other languages (layouts)

[Andrey]

Hi!

Lyx keyboard shortcuts don't work when I change my keyboard layout to 
another language.


For example, 'Alt+M, M' is a shortcut for the math mode. When I type in 
English layout, this shortcut gets me a math box. When I switch to 
Russian layout, I get 'ь' typed (in Russian layout letter 'ь' is in 
place of 'm'). I don't have this problem in any other program. For 
example, in Kile shortcut 'Alt+I, P' works regardless of the layout.


What could be done about it?

LyX 2.3.2, Ubuntu 18.04.2, XFCE 4.12

Brilliant! You nailed it. At the top of my user.bind file, I 
originally had this line:


    # Copyright © 2013 by the Editorium. All rights reserved.

I didn't include that in my original posting because the line was 
commented out, so I figured it didn't matter. Not so; LyX evidently 
doesn't like the © character, even in a comment. I removed the 
character, and everything worked perfectly. That's odd, because LyX 
never objected before, but LyX 2.3 does. Maybe it's an encoding issue 
on Windows.


At any rate, thanks again for your help. Problem solved, and I really 
appreciate it. I hope this may be helpful to someone else.



You may be right about it being a Windows issue. I can't reproduce it on 
Linux Mint, even with the copyright symbol in the file. If someone else 
can reproduce it on Windows to confirm that's the problem, we might open 
a bug ticket for it. If nothing else, the error message is misleading.

I'm using LyX 2.3.2 on Windows 10. I recently did a clean install of 
Windows 10 and then reinstalled LyX 2.3.2, along with my customized 
user.bind file. Yesterday was the first time I tried to use LyX since 
then, and that's when I started getting the "unknown function" 
message. The user.bind file has worked just fine in the past.


If I take just one of the commands from the user.bind file, like this one:

command-sequence font-emph

and enter it into LyX's command buffer, it works just fine.

I've tried the user.bind file with LyX 2.3.1-1 as well, and it doesn't 
work there, either.


By the way, I've always reconfigured LyX after installing the 
user.bind file, which I've placed in ~\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.3\ as

I'm pretty good with LyX, but this one has me stumped.

Well, if you don't need word-lowcase, you could also change the binding 
on Alt-c down to word-lowcase partial. I'm not an emacs user, but I 
suspect that would be more natural for one. Typing in the command buffer 
works, and after doing it once you can recycle it for the rest of the 
session, but you'd have to do it again and again if this was something 
you used often.

Good point.

Not necessary - following your question, I renamed the .lyx folder,

Inserting inset via menu keyboard shortcuts problem

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

when I insert an inset (e.g. an ERT) via the keyboard using the menu
navigation shortcuts,

ALT-I x

LyX stays in the menu navigation mode, i.e. pressing i does not insert
an i in the ERT inset, but opens the menu again.
I have to click on the text to return to the normal text mode.

Am I missing something here?

(Don't tell me about insetring the ERT via CTRL-L - that works, but ERT is
only an example. I am using the menu shortcuts to insert TODO notes)

Would it be possible to return to normal text mode after a menu command
has been been executed?

Thanks,

Rainer

Inserting inset via menu keyboard shortcuts problem

Hi

when I insert an inset (e.g. an ERT) via the keyboard using the menu
navigation shortcuts,

ALT-I x

LyX stays in the menu navigation mode, i.e. pressing i does not insert
an i in the ERT inset, but opens the menu again.
I have to click on the text to return to the normal text mode.

Am I missing something here?

(Don't tell me about insetring the ERT via CTRL-L - that works, but ERT is
only an example. I am using the menu shortcuts to insert TODO notes)

Would it be possible to return to normal text mode after a menu command
has been been executed?

Inserting inset via menu keyboard shortcuts problem

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

when I insert an inset (e.g. an ERT) via the keyboard using the menu
navigation shortcuts,

ALT-I x

LyX stays in the "menu" navigation mode, i.e. pressing "i" does not insert
an "i" in the ERT inset, but opens the menu again.
I have to click on the text to return to the "normal" text mode.

Am I missing something here?

(Don't tell me about insetring the ERT via CTRL-L - that works, but ERT is
only an example. I am using the menu shortcuts to insert TODO notes)

Would it be possible to return to "normal" text mode after a menu command
has been been executed?

Thanks,

Rainer

That does not happen here... Alt-I x works as you say it should.

The problem comes when I press i afterwards - so the key sequence is:

Alt-i x i

It should insert i in the ert box, but it opens the menue again.

Try to use 'ctrl-i i' instead. I haven't seen such issues with
'ctrl+i' bindings.

Lyx2.0.0RC3: OSX Keyboard Shortcuts Missing

[Walter]

This may be my own stupid lack of OSX knowledge, but none of:
 - fn+i
 - ctrl+i
 - alt/option+i
 - command/applesquigglything+i

... seem to actually trigger the 'insert' menu, one of the most common
shortcuts I would use on the Linux platform, usually to insert notes
or citations mid-text.

Is this a real/known bug? If unknown I am hereby reporting it! If not
the case then please advise how I can get my non-mousing input back.

Cheers,
Walter

 In ~/.lyx/bind/my.bind the 'buffer-export' value is assigned to the key

 I'd appreciate learning what to do to get ctrl-h to export the buffer

move them would also be appreciated.


Here's a (very) partial answer. I think that 'buffer-export' requires an 
argument, e.g. 'pdf2' to say what kind of export you want. Maybe that's 
incompatible with just using 'Ctrl-x h' for export?


You could try doing
M-x (should give you a prompt, and then type)
buffer-export pdf2

After getting that to work, you could probably bind a command that does 
the above to a keyboard shortcut. Or ask on the developers list... :-)

  In ~/.lyx/bind/my.bind (based on emacs) the binding,

\bind C-d char-delete-forward

works just fine. However, neither

\bind Delete  char-delete-forward

nor

\bind Del char-delete-forward

works. I get a playing card spade symbol with those.

  What's strange is that the binding

\bind C-Deleteword-delete-forward

  What would be the correct way to define the [Del] key so it also invokes

I would very much like Mac standard shortcuts, especially for editing text. 
I would like LyX for Mac to follow the design guidelines for Aqua as far as 
keyboard shortcuts go -- perhaps this is a Qt problem(?) I dunno.

Hi,
I think the way things are is OK in that one can customize the  
keybindings freely, and also leverage some of the existing bind  
files. What I do is to select a modified version of xemacs.bind as  
the default, but at the end of that file I load some other bind files  
as well, to get math and menu bindings.


The menus in LyX can be accessed by keyboard, using shortcuts that  
are defined in menus.bind (although I recall having to modify some  
things there too, because the Lfunc names were outdated in LyX  
1.5.3)... one thing that's bad about accessing the menus with the  
keyboard is that the drop-down lists open in a floating position,  
torn off from the menu bar. Fortunately, on the Mac you can also  
access the menu bar by the system-wide shortcut Control-F2 (which  
you can in turn customize in the System Preferences).

I can reproduce it on XP.  You have to hold the Alt key down for both 
characters (as if you were type Alt-i Alt-f when inserting a footnote), 
and you have to hit the second character rather quickly.


Not actually a problem for me, though:  I can't type that fast.  :-)

it is a bug of Qt under X11? 


It does not seem to be a X11 bug: I use windows (Vista) and LyX 1.5.3


Really? Then it might be a bug in Qt under Vista as I use XP, or maybe 
it is a bug of Vista :-)




I can reproduce it on XP.  You have to hold the Alt key down for both 
characters (as if you were type Alt-i Alt-f when inserting a footnote), 
and you have to hit the second character rather quickly.


Sure but I was talking about the other bug, when you type 'Alt-i f' 
(releasing the Alt and i keys before typing f).




Not actually a problem for me, though:  I can't type that fast.  :-)


This one is not a bug anyway.
