Hi Daniel,
I fear your solution is too general for my case: wouldn't it interfere
with my keyboard settings in other programs?
I wouldn't think so. You don't have to use this 'feature' in other
contexts.
If you heavily use the caps lock key then the situation is different.
But in that case you can redefine any other key to become the compose key.
Under Linux there is a nice little program 'xev' which gives you the key
code for all keys.
I point out that I am perfectly satisfied with my "US int'l" setup in
almost every software, command line included. Since LyX is the only
major program I'm having this (however little) trouble with, I was in
search of a LyX-specific solution.
You could try to define your personal bind file in '$HOME/.lyx/bind/...'
You'll find info on global and local bind files somewhere in the (more
advanced ;-) LyX documentation.
I don't remeber exactly where, it's several years tackled with these
problems.
