Dear all,

That the quote-mark gets sent through when switching windows is quite a big issue for me. I use this key-combination all the time in all applications, and because of this I had more than once an (undiscovered) quote-sign in a printed publication.

If one has something marked in LyX when switching windows in the standard mac-way, this behavior even leads to quiet DATA LOSS !!!

I tried to re-define (or better: disable) in LyX the leftquote key using a new bindfile with e.g.
\bind_file mac.bind
\bind "quoteleft" "screen-recenter"
which works when pressing the quoteleft key, only. If I press however Command-quoteleft (switching the windows of the foremost application), still the quoteleft-character appears in LyX (ignoring what is in my bindfile).

Any other possibility for a (temporary) workaround until it gets fixed in Qt???

Two possibilities, but you're not going to like them:

1. Use the mouse to switch windows.

2. Use only a single window (with <opt><tab> and <opt><shift><tab> to switch between tabs).

I don't know of any keyboard-based solutions.
