Glancing through the code, there seems like two (at least) ways of implementing this: 1. In the bind files, have a third optional parameter that is the action in math mode. The key map code then needs to keep an additional table for actions inside math mode. This seems like a somewhat substantial change to the code, but at least would preserve people's current bind files. 2. Math mode is considered an additional modifier like Shift or Alt. Then the current bind file/key map code could be retained, and only minor modifications would be need to made. However, I don't really grok the way all the pieces of the LyX code fit together (it's an impressively huge piece of work), so I don't know if what I'm proposing would be an easy fix or not. For instance, I don't know if setting the "math mode" modifier is easy to do from code outside of the key handlers. Best wishes, Stephen
