i forgot you use emacs.bind. so lets define "empty" as emacs.bind delivered byt the lyx itself. if you use this file and delete does not work, then its bug of lyx. otherwise i proposed to change your particular shortcuts to the time del breaks.
Folks, I copied /usr/local/share/lyx/bind/emacs.bind to ~/.lyx/bind/my.bind and tested the key bindings against a document. No difference: when I press [Del] I get the spade playing card symbol to the left of the point rather than deleting the character to the right of the point. When I grepped my.bind for 'Del' and 'Delete' I found no binding for that key by itself. There is a C-Delete bound to word-delete-forward, and a S-KP_Delete bound to cut, but no Delete by itself. As a matter of fact, the [Del] key is not bound to anything in cua.bind, emacs.bind, or user.bind. For what it's worth, in the latter file it's explicitly unbound from char-delete-forward. I find this stange. I tend to use the [Del] key and my mini-keyboard doesn't have a numeric keypad in any case. From my user perspective, this is a bug. How can I make the [Del] key delete the character immediately to the right? Thanks, Rich -- Richard B.
