Dear LyXers, in my teaching documents, terms like $1 \cdot 1$ are regularely required.
In Germany, the \cdot (·) is the common multiplication operator and it is also available on the keyboard as [AltGr ,]. Unfortunately, pressing [AltGr ,] in mathed inserts \text{·} instead of \cdot. (This is bug #9616 http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/9616 ) The text character looks similar in most fonts but has the wrong spacing. Currently, I have to go back and press backspace to dissolve the text inset everytime after inserting a center dot. This is very cumbersome. Binding · to "math-insert \cdot" has the side-effect that the math-command is also inserted in text. Is there a quick workaround to let [AltGr ,] insert \cdot in mathed and · in text (maybe using command-alternatives or so)? Thanks, Günter
