HOLD SHIFT TO ENTER ENGLISH KEYS? I wan not shouting, just demonstrating. In my keyboard layout I hold the "menu" key to enter English keys. I can also hold the shift for CAPITAL English chars. That is basically the atvantage of the lyx layout over the si1452 layout: you have an extra keyboard switcher available. Why you write English and want to type an LRM, you press menu+shift-t I don't have any experince with tripple-language layouts (e.g: us,ru,il), though. As for a long-term solution: This has just been a long thread about this in the OOo-il mailing list. Unfortunately I can't find any up-to-date online archive of that list. I can mail you my OOo mbox, if you want. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
