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.
Thanks Bennett.
My problem is actually not so much that I would NEED keyboard-based
window switching in LyX - I can live well without it.
The problem is that nevertheless sometimes I DO use the standard
key-combination (e.g. to jump to/from a dialog box that I left
open) and then harm is caused (without me noticing it).
So let me reword the question:
Can I somehow (completely) disable the leftquote key in LyX, as a
workaround to this bug?
Not without disabling it for all applications on your Mac. (To do
that, use the Keyboard Shortcuts tab of the Keyboard and Mouse system
preference.) It looks like the best solution for you #2, which is
what I do: since there is only one window, I'm not even tempted to
use <Cmd>' ... but if I did, then it would appear in the active
window for me to notice and correct. When I absolutely need to see
what's in another LyX document at the same time I work on one, I
create a .pdf and display that on screen next to the LyX window.
