Unfortunately my sgml2lyx doesn't work with footnotes. And I am
lawyer, so that a footnote is probably most used thing in my
documents :-) See mentioned archive on http://www.volny.cz/

Try to switch your keyboard to the Czech layout, for example, and
write \ . So easy! In place of the top-right key on my keyboard we
have the deadkey and instead of characters {} we have /( .

I tried using Pause as a switcher and it doesn't switch anything.
Probably, there is something screwed up with my keyboard. But it is
fairly standard Windows95 PC keyboard (Chicony KB-2961, 101keys,
small Backspace and tall Enter). When looking through xkeycaps,
then Pause is where it should be (actually, Pause works as a
switcher in GNOME).

Because it works. And because no-one should reinvent the wheel,
and yet more it is stupid, when the new wheel is worse than the old
one.
Have a nice day
