Hello,
I am having trouble using the Meta-* key bindings (e.g. M-c m) in Lyx 1.1.5
and hoping that somebody out there can suggest the proper way of mapping the
critical keys. I am using a PC as a terminal, running Lyx on Solaris via an
Reflection-X window manager.
The trouble is that in my default key mapping (as displayed by xmodmap)
there are no Meta-keys defined, and naturally the sequences like above do
not work. However, even after redefining e.g. the Alt_L key as Meta_L
(with xmodmap, using
keycode 18 = Meta_L
replacing Alt_L), there appears to be no difference in Lyx's behavior. As a
check, I tried something obvious like redefining the Control keys as
something completely different, but Lyx still could use them as proper C-*,
even when the shell could not. In contrast, some other remappings (e.g. for
regular character keys) get imported into Lyx just fine.
Does Lyx bypass the xmodmap settings when it comes to the control, alt,
meta, shift etc. "special" keys? Where or how could this be customized?
If you have any thoughts, please mail me back to this email address as I am
not a member of the list.
Thanks,
Andres
