You’re welcome.

The mentioned documentation is an online version of the built-in Math manual 
help.
The procedure of binding an arbitrary key to a command (sequence) is part of
Appendix C of the users guide: C-2.2.1 Editing Shortcuts.

Stephan

Thanks! this looks what I need. The only problem is that I am not familiar
with customization and this does not look like a "\bind" line to put in a
mac.bind or math.bind - did I miss anything? where should I put this
command-alternatives break-paragraph;math-extern maxima  ?

Hi Roberto,
according to the LyX manual there is no shortcut, but a way around it, have a 
look here:
http://elyxer.nongnu.org/lyx/Math.html#toc-Subsection-23.2

I haven't tried, though, I right click then select CAS

shortcut for Use Computer Algebra System

2016-11-14 Thread Roberto
Hello,
  I am on Mac with Lyx 2.2.0 trying to put a shortcut for Edit>Math>Use
Computer Algebra System>Mathematica
but I do know what the Lyx function would be to put it in the binding file.
I tried the Preferences>Editing>Shortcuts  but this function is not listed.

Mathematica calculations work fine if I use the mouse to get the CAS
function, but is pretty nested down in the menu ... can anybody help me to
get a short cut to use CAS (and Mathematica in particular)

Thanks,
Roberto
