Juergen asked me to subscribe to this mail list and pass on to all of you a strange (and new with 1.6.1) problem with the [Del] key. This is on Slackware-12.2.
Despite \bind "Delete" being defined as 'char-delete-forward' in site.bind and ~/.lyx/bind/my.bind, it's not working. When I press that key, a playing card spade suit character is entered (see attached screen shot). Fortunately, ctrl-d works properly. Below is the information I sent to Juergen early this morning with the results of running 'lyx -dbg 4'. I hope you smart folks can figure out what broke and provide a fix. I, of course, will test anything you send my way. Thanks, Rich -- Richard B.

If you start lyx with -dbg key, what is the output if you hit the Del key?
Upon starting with 'lyx -dbg 4' (with \bind "Delete" commented out in my individual bind file), at the end of the output is: KeyMap.cpp(227): KeyMap::read: error while reading bind file:/home/rshepard/.lyx/bind/my.bind GuiKeySymbol.cpp(634): Init key to 16777236, Right GuiKeySymbol.cpp(641): isOK is 1 GuiKeySymbol.cpp(641): isOK is 1 GuiKeySymbol.cpp(634): Init key to 16777234, Left GuiKeySymbol.cpp(641): isOK is 1 GuiKeySymbol.cpp(641): isOK is 1 GuiKeySymbol.cpp(634): Init key to 68, d GuiKeySymbol.cpp(641): isOK is 1 GuiKeySymbol.cpp(634): Init key to 16777223, Delete GuiKeySymbol.cpp(641): isOK is 1 GuiKeySymbol.cpp(641): isOK is 1 Error: New binding for 'Ctrl+D Del' is overriding old binding...

As soon as I press the [Del] key, this is displayed: GuiWorkArea.cpp(863): count: 1 text: isAutoRepeat: 0 key: 16777223 GuiKeySymbol.cpp(620): Getting key 16777223, with text ''GuiKeySymbol.cpp(626): Setting key to 16777223, LyXFunc.cpp(288): KeySym is Delete

Then, when I press the [Backspace] key: GuiWorkArea.cpp(863): count: 1 text: isAutoRepeat: 0 key: 16777219 GuiKeySymbol.cpp(620): Getting key 16777219, with text 'GuiKeySymbol.cpp(626): Setting key to 16777219, LyXFunc.cpp(288): KeySym is BackSpace
