You are right. What I mean is that, by using "\bind_file cua" in your
.bind file, you are sure that it will use the current version of
cua.bind, not an old copy. This means that you only have to fix your
own bindings when upgrading.

JMarc,

  No, I didn't.

  What I did years ago was 'cp cua.bind my.bind' and change the latter. But,
despite selecting that in the preferences dialog, each time LyX is invoked
the bind file is returned to cua.bind.

  Even if I append my key bindings to the latest cua.bind, don't I still need
to figure out syntactical changes? For example, prior function name was
'spellchecker' while the new function name is 'display-show spellchecker.'
So, if I use the old function name it still won't work as expected. No?

Thanks,

Rich

After switching my brain on, I noticed that it's just what
\bind_file
does.

Sorry for the noise.

Incidentally, is it possible to include bind files? Something like

-mybindings.bind---
#my bindings
\bind "F1" "foo"

Input cua.bind
---

would be very nifty especially wrt upgrading.

Do you know that, if you start from, say, cua.bind, the best way to
produce your bindings is like this?

-mybindings.bind---
\bind_file cua.bind

#your bindings below
\bind "F1" "foo"
---

What does your preference file look like?

Did you make your own bindings file? Some of the LyX functions changed
names.

JMarc



Is there (or will there soon be) an updated list of function names on 
the Wiki?

JMarc,

  That was it: names changed from prior versions. In a few cases, the words
were reversed in the latest cua.bind, in others 'dialog-show' was prepended
to the word. Sigh.

  It's all better now. Many thanks.

Lost Keybindings in 1.4.1

[Rich Shepard]

  This is frustrating: in 1.4.1 (linux), some of my shortcut keys no longer
work. Same bind file as before. Some that do work include:
  C-d   View dvi output
  C-i   Italics (emphasize)
  C-b   Bold
  C-h   Compile with pdflatex

  Some that no longer work include:
  C-f   Find
  F7Spellcheck
  C-s   Save

  Can someone help me understand why, and what I need to do to get back the
full functionality of my keyboard?

Thanks,

Rich
