because Qt::Key_Comma exists, while Qt::Key_cacute does not (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qt.html). in case it doesn't appeared in this thread you can use another key as "cedilla dead key" e.g. \bind "F5" "accent-cedilla" and then use F5+key. changing working of dead keys as acute+c -> cedilla+c should be done at XWindows-level, LyX should get the whole deadkey+key char from X. Daniel wrote other apps get cedilla while LyX acute, this seems to be miraculous :) iirc i made keyboard tricks via xmodmap and direct editing of XKeyboardConfig files in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols. pavel
