  Well, I guess all I can do is not use the Delete key since no one seems to
know why it won't work since the upgrade to 1.6.1. So, I'll unsubscribe from
this list.

I experienced something like this when I developed the new shortcut
dialog with certain combination of os/qt/lyx but I could not repeat it
now. If you could PM me your bind file, and tell me you os and lyx
version, I might be able to help.

i forgot you use emacs.bind. so lets define empty as emacs.bind delivered

  Juergen asked me to subscribe to this mail list and pass on to all of you
a strange (and new with 1.6.1) problem with the [Del] key. This is on
Slackware-12.2.

  Despite \bind Delete being defined as 'char-delete-forward' in site.bind
and ~/.lyx/bind/my.bind, it's not working. When I press that key, a playing
card spade suit character is entered (see attached screen shot).
Fortunately, ctrl-d works properly.

  Below is the information I sent to Juergen early this morning with the
results of running 'lyx -dbg 4'. I hope you smart folks can figure out what
broke and provide a fix. I, of course, will test anything you send my way.

If you start lyx with -dbg key, what is the output if you hit the Del key?


  Upon starting with 'lyx -dbg 4' (with \bind Delete commented out in my

  As soon as I press the [Del] key, this is displayed:

... and the attached shows what is displayed (without the character to the

  Then, when I press the [Backspace] key:

every previous version.

card spade suit character is entered (see attached screen shot).
Fortunately, ctrl-d works properly.

  Below is the information I sent to Juergen early this morning with the
results of running 'lyx -dbg 4'. I hope you smart folks can figure out what
broke and provide a fix. I, of course, will test anything you send my way.

Thanks,

Rich

If you start lyx with -dbg key, what is the output if you hit the Del key?


  Upon starting with 'lyx -dbg 4' (with \bind "Delete" commented out in my
individual bind file), at the end of the output is:

KeyMap.cpp(227): KeyMap::read: error while reading bind
file:/home/rshepard/.lyx/bind/my.bind

Menus.cpp(588): Menu warning: menu entries "Ordinary Quote|O" and
"Horizontal Space...|o" share the same shortcut.

  As soon as I press the [Del] key, this is displayed:

GuiWorkArea.cpp(863):  count: 1 text:  isAutoRepeat: 0 key: 16777223
GuiKeySymbol.cpp(620): Getting key 16777223, with text ''

LyXFunc.cpp(334):  Key [action=][Del]
LyXFunc.cpp(357): isText() is true, inserting.
LyXFunc.cpp(373): SelfInsert arg[']

... and the attached shows what is displayed (without the character to the
right of the point being deleted).

  Then, when I press the [Backspace] key:

GuiWorkArea.cpp(863):  count: 1 text: isAutoRepeat: 0 key: 16777219
GuiKeySymbol.cpp(620): Getting key 16777219, with text '

GuiWorkArea.cpp(863):  count: 1 text:  isAutoRepeat: 0 key: 16777249
GuiKeySymbol.cpp(620): Getting key 16777249, with text ''
GuiKeySymbol.cpp(626): Setting key to 16777249, LyXFunc.cpp(288): KeySym is 
Control_L

GuiKeySymbol.cpp(641): isOK is 1
GuiKeySymbol.cpp(649): isModifier is 1
LyXFunc.cpp(298): isModifier true

... and I see that with the [Del] key in LyXFunc.cpp(315) and (323) no
action is being set. Strange. Frustrating. Had not happened this way in
every previous version.

Many thanks,

  LyX opens to the introductory document. When I open one of mine, the [Del]
key works as it should. I'm attaching my bind file (modified from the
emacs.bind); perhaps I messed it up inadvertently with the name changes for
key actions.


what qt version do you have?


qt-3.3.8b-i486-2
qt4-4.4.3-i486-1_SBo

Thanks,

Rich
