Figured it out. This portion of cua.bind was causing the issue (and this seems like how I fixed it before):
# # bookmarks # \bind "C-~S-1" "bookmark-goto 1" \bind "C-~S-2" "bookmark-goto 2" \bind "C-~S-3" "bookmark-goto 3" \bind "C-~S-4" "bookmark-goto 4" \bind "C-~S-5" "bookmark-goto 5" \bind "C-~S-6" "bookmark-goto 6" \bind "C-~S-7" "bookmark-goto 7" \bind "C-~S-8" "bookmark-goto 8" \bind "C-~S-9" "bookmark-goto 9" \bind "M-~S-1" "bookmark-save 1" \bind "M-~S-2" "bookmark-save 2" \bind "M-~S-3" "bookmark-save 3" \bind "M-~S-4" "bookmark-save 4" \bind "M-~S-5" "bookmark-save 5" \bind "M-~S-6" "bookmark-save 6" \bind "M-~S-7" "bookmark-save 7" \bind "M-~S-8" "bookmark-save 8" \bind "M-~S-9" "bookmark-save 9" If I copy cua.bind to the user bind directory, delete this portion of it, and then add my shortcut bindings to the end it works. The ones that were getting broken were Alt+# where #=1,2,3,4 which I used to select delimiter sizes. I suppose the correct procedure is to unbind these before reassigning them. ________________________________ From: Michael Dean Pugh <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 6, 2026 8:30 AM To: lyx-users <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Shortcut bindings broken Alright, new problem. Pointing the preferences to user.bind fixed my lost shortcut issues, but then basic things like copy and paste quit working. I know these are in cua.bind. So I copied cua.bind to the user bind directory, changed its name to cuauser.bind and added the shortcuts from user.bind to that, effectively combining the contents of the two files, and pointed preferences to that. I get the basic cua functionality but none of my custom shortcuts. It seems like this happened when I upgraded to 2.4 too, but I forgot how I eventually fixed this. Any help is appreciated. ________________________________ From: Michael Dean Pugh <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 6, 2026 6:56 AM To: lyx-users <[email protected]> Subject: Shortcut bindings broken After upgrading to 2.5, I notice that some of my shortcut bindings no longer work. It displays "<time>: Command disabled" in the Progress/Debug Messages pane. The shortcuts still show up under Preferences->Editing>Shortcuts; they just do not function as before. How do I fix this? Thank you.
