 I've created a new Mac.bind file that will be available in the next 
 version of LyX-Mac. It uses standard Mac conventions for things like 
 cursor movement, bold, underline, ellipses, etc. 

I suspect one thing Mr Helm wanted to know is whether there is a way to
use the Ctrl key instead of the Cmd key for C-... commands.  I believe
Mac QT doesn't allow this.  A solution that works reasonably well for me
is to use uControl (http://gnufoo.org/ucontrol/ucontrol.html) to map
CapsLock to Cmd, which, for LyX anyway, puts what is effectvely the
control key where God intended it to be (though the damn capslock light
still goes off and on...).

I suspect one thing Mr Helm wanted to know is whether there is a way to
use the Ctrl key instead of the Cmd key for "C-..." commands.  I believe
Mac QT doesn't allow this.  A solution that works reasonably well for me
is to use uControl (http://gnufoo.org/ucontrol/ucontrol.html) to map
CapsLock to Cmd, which, for LyX anyway, puts what is effectvely the

Mod Keys -- for Mac LyXers only

2004-08-26 Thread Stefano Franchi
Does anyone know where does  MacOs X define the bindings for the 
various Mod keys? I use LyX/Qt for Mac and I would like to modify the 
setup of Control, Alt, Meta, and Compose, but do not know where to look 
for help. The Lyx docs assume you are using X11, which isn't the case 
with LyX/Qt (as far as I know).
