The bind files are specific to the main LyX window and not to the individual
dialogs. The short cuts to the dialogs are hardcoded into the source (well
sort-of. They can be changed by the .po files).
The file you're looking for is
src/frontends/xforms/form_search.C
Relevant code:
char const * const dummy = N_(" >|#F^s");
fdui->findnext = obj = fl_add_button(FL_NORMAL_BUTTON, 200, 80, 90, 30,
idex(_(dummy)));
fl_set_button_shortcut(obj, scex(_(dummy)), 1);
}
fl_set_object_lsize(obj, FL_NORMAL_SIZE);
fl_set_object_gravity(obj, FL_SouthEast, FL_SouthEast);
fl_set_object_callback(obj, C_FormBaseInputCB, 0);
{
Basically, this says that the shortcut to the ">" button is either Alt-F or
Ctrl-s.
So, does Alt-F work for you?
Hope this helps your understanding at least. Might even help you track down
the problem!
Best wishes,
Angus
