Peter,

I'm pretty sure that my window manager isn't catching M-f and M-b (I'm using
gnome/sawfish, and none of the shortcuts are set to those combinations).  Also,
looking in lyx/bind, I see that none of the binding files have C-r set to a find
function.  For example, xemacs.bin, which I am using, contains:

#bind "C-r"                    "------"

Also, some of them don't bind C-s to find-replace.  For example cua.bind binds
it to buffer-write.  What bind file are you using?  Maybe it isn't being
distributed with 1.1.6.

Does anyone know the name of the function that clicks those forward/backward
search arrows?  

Or, are there specific forward/backward search functions that search only,
without popping up the find-replace window?  Knowing this, maybe my fix is to
modify the bind file.

Thanks,

Scott
