This is strange because the binding works for me (005c version). Pavel -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

You don’t identify your OS. Pavel gives you the answer for Linux. If you are on MacOS, Karabiner-Elements can do that sort of remapping in a jiffy via a convenient graphical interface. On Windows it’s a bit more work. You can either edit the registry (instructions are easy to find), use the Microsoft Powertoys program, or use the much more powerful AutoHotkey scripting app. AutoHotkey requires you to create a text file with some quirky syntax but it’s a super powerful program that can do way more than keys remapping.
