Dear All:
it seems to me that there are some serious problems with accents in LyX. At least with the aqua version for mac that I have
1) Yesterday I reported that I cannot input characters with accent from an us keyboard. "<option><accent> <vowel-key>" simply does not seem to work. For example, "<option>` a" produces "à" on any mac applications, but nothink on LyX. "a`" does produce "à", but I did not find any way to get "é": "e'" simply gives "e'"
2) The interaction with LaTex seems to be even weirder. Stte the two attached latex files. The first was generated by hands and it does not display correctly on LyX: the accents are displayed in an empty line, followed by a line with unaccented text. The second file, instead, is produced by LyX. It contains the only accents that I have been able to produce ("grave") inputing "a` e` i`". The Latex resultin output is obviously wrong.
Is this a problem of LyX, of LyX-for-aqua, or of my own configuration?
I am not sure that this is the right place to address one's own wishes, but a useful feature which is missing in LyX is the possibility of exporting a latex file with a name different from the current file name (one is not prompted for a filename to give to the exported file).
many thanks for your advice
Stefano
