Hello
Can someone help me please? I would like to bind a key
combination to "command-alternatives in-ipa ; ipa-insert".
For the moment at least I want to stick to the default key
bindings plus this one additional binding. Again for the
moment anyway how do I find out what the default key bindings
are so that I don't reset a key binding that already exists?
Is there a way to do this in LyX itself rather than having to
mess around with bind files? I did try to work this out
myself but couldn't figure it out. FWI I use LyX on Win 7
Pro with 32 bit MiKTeX.
Keep in mind that I'm translating from Spanish and that I'm using a
Linux system, so check everything!
On Tools → Settings → Edition → Keyboard shortcuts type "ipa" on the
filter box and you'll find the ipa-insert command listed below:
select it and click on Modify to assign a keyboard shortcut to it.
Regards,
Ricardo
Thanks very much in advance for any help

Sorry I forgot to mention that if I can do it in LyX itself I'd
like it to "stick" in the sense that if I close LyX and start it
again I don't have to manually set the key binding.

Hi Ricardo
Thanks very much for your reply. BTW I'm running LyX 2.2.3. Here's
what I've come up with.
I have to do something slightly different namely
Tools > Preferences > Editing > Shortcuts > Cursor, Mouse and
Editing Functions > ipa-insert > Modify
The bind file is shown as cua in which there is no binding for
ipa-insert. (Someone please tell me if I'm wrong) so after I click on
Modify I have to select New and then enter the binding. So I enter
C-x i and ipa-insert and it does indeed "stick" in the sense I
described before. I can close LyX and restart it and look at cua.bind
and it's still there. (I do that in Emacs in case you're wondering.
The path on my machine is Program Files (x86) > LyX 2.2 > Resources >
bind > cua.bind.)
However cua.bind cannot possibly be the default bind file because if I
am in LyX and type C-x it says "command disabled" so I can't even do
"cut". I think I can figure out how to load the cua bindings but my
concern is that it will reset some of the default bindings. I also
use LyX for math and logic and I don't want to lose those shortcuts.
Please compare to
https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/KeyboardShortcuts#StandardKeybindings where
it says "You can use the script LyxBindings
<https://wiki.lyx.org/Tools/LyxBindings> to generate your own
documentats describing for your configuration of keyboard shortcuts.
Some users experience the complete loss of every bindings after
changes. In that case, a .bind file needs to be reselected in the menu
(Tools/Preferences/Editing/Shortcuts/Browse). /The cua.bind file is
the basic one./"
Any further help would be greatly appreciated.
Best
Mike
So to summarize:
1.
Is cua.bind really the default?
2.
Why does C-x give "command disabled"?
3.
Will loading cua.bind blow away any pre-existing default LyX shortcuts?
