I found that these work. I suggest using these in the Math mode font
toolbar since the current approach leaves the cursor outside the insert
text box
# insert in mathbf font or mathcal
\bind "C-M-b" "command-sequence math-insert \mathbf;
char-backward"
\bind "C-M-e" "command-sequence math-insert \mathcal;
char-backward"

I use multiple fonts in my equations and it is tedious to type for
example \mathcal every time I want to insert a character with that font.
So I wrote a keyboard binding that takes over the control-e in cua.bind
\bind "C-e" "math-insert \mathcal"
This works OK but it leaves the cursor to the right of the entry box so
every time I have to type a left-arrow to get into the box.
Is there any way to define the binding so I end up inside the box?
TIA

p.s. I got the command from the font tools that appear at the bottom of
the window in math mode. But that does the same thing i.e. does not end
up in the box
pps. I am a mailing list newbie. How do I reply to messages so they end
up in the same thread with my original. I think I am supposed to have an
"in-reply-to" field in the message header but how do I do this with
thunderbird?
