You can also set up a new 'my.bind' and input one of the standard bind-files with \bind_file cua.bind or \bind_file emacs.bind This way, your basis will always be an actual standard bind-file. > Go to Edit->Preferences->Look n' Feel->Bind file and change that to the > one you want to use. Then run Edit->Reconfigure, exit LyX and restart it. IMHO, an Edit->Reconfigure is not even necessary. (But will do no harm.) Now on to the real problem: There is only one keybindings set for a whole variety of Layouts. This makes assigning keys to the styles a bit complicated: A keybinding to LandscapeSlide is "lost", for any Layout that is not Seminar. That is why the standard keybindings do not include hotkeys for "exotic" styles. I use seminar quite often, so I have # New Layout Styles for Seminar \bind "M-a f" "layout LandscapeSlide" \bind "M-a S-F" "layout PortraitSlide" \bind "M-a S-F" "layout EndOfSlide" \bind "M-a h" "layout SlideHeading" \bind "M-a S-H" "layout SlideSubHeading" in my gm.bind. (People who (almost) never use seminar would find these bindings needless/annoying.) However, if you are going to write screenplays on a regular basis, consider doing similar for the very fine LaTeX class. sincerely Günter -- G.Milde at web.de
