E.g. the underlines are not shown. I had similar effect in other programs (linguist) too. It helped to change the respective application-font. Under "mate" window it is Control Center -> Look and Feel -> Appearance -> Fonts -> Application font: Kornel signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I'm not sure many of the Insert entries have shortcuts (other than the menu accellerators themselves). Good point. Many of the submenu items do come with shortcuts. What caught my eye was that Insert > Math had no shortcuts at all. That might be correct for a lot of the items, but the top two (Inline/Display Formula) are bound to Ctrl+M and Ctrl+Shift+M in cua.bind, and I use those shortcuts quite frequently. Paul

You can leave the dialog open while you are editing a document. The "Show key-bindings containing:" box will let you search either by key combination (enter "Ctrl + M", find out it's bound to math-mode, which starts an inline equation) or by function (enter "math-mode", find out the shortcut is "Ctrl+M"). The latter part is not entirely helpful if you don't know what the LyX name for the function is, but worst case you can enter a partial name for the function (say, "math") and get a list of possibilities. It won't necessarily keep you away from Google entirely, but it might help. Also, if it's any consolation, the shortcuts you use most often will eventually stick in memory. Paul
