Isam, you seem to me to be describing input using the "Compose" key, a.k.a Multi_key, which LyX certainly does support. Eg with latin1 encoding Compose a ' -> á Compose u " -> ü Compose l = -> £ I'm no expert but assume that Arabic encoding can use this too. Check xmodmap to see whether your X is configured. You're looking for "Multi_key": aleem@pneumon:aleem-> xmodmap xmodmap: up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses): shift Shift_L (0x12), Shift_R (0x59) lock Caps_Lock (0x14) control Control_L (0x11) mod1 Alt_L (0x19), Alt_R (0x39) mod2 Multi_key (0x28), Multi_key (0x58) mod3 mod4 mod5 Regards, Angus
