Paul, I tried keeping the musical theme.
What bind file do you use? The key binding can be found under Tools > Preferences > Editing > Shortcuts > Cursor, Mouse and Editing Functions > word-lowcase. I use the cua bind file, which loads the menus.bind file, which defines the shortcut. I notice that the emacs and xemacs bind files bind it a bit differently (to "word-lowcase partial", which I guess shifts only from the cursor forward rather than the whole word (?).
I use the emacs version as that's my main writing tool. In the current situation I had copied soil map unit characteristics from NRCS web pages to the LyX document. The section headers were in upper case so I highlighted the title from the second letter of the first word. The shortcut didn't work. It also didn't work when I highlighted the entire string. Shrug. I don't do this that often yet wonder if I type the emacs command (that would normallly follow M-x in emacs) into some place in the lyx buffer if I would get the same results. Unfortunately, the number of keys required to type the command is greater than using the Edit -> Text -> to lower with the trackball. Thanks, Rich
