Please make it configurable, with default to old behaviour.
I _never_ change the keyboard language. Instead I have own Xmodmap set, so that
I am able to
write any latin characters (accents etc).
My env:
Keyboard language: en_US
Document language: German
lyx-GUI: Slovak
Desktop env: German
ATM, If I want to write in Slovak it is possible so long I don't use the mouse.
If I later want to correct a word the change is English. This is frustrating.
