However, in the main LyX window, we need to interpret each and every
key
press and so must generate the std::string from these key presses. We
can't leave things to Qt. Our own, home grown key handling code is less
sophisticated than Qt's, but crucially for us, we have total control
over
it to do lots of other stuff.
That makes sense. Now I know why the behavior is different---I suppose
there must be something wrong with my setup, then, if the compose key
works in QT but doesn't in LyX. Will wait for the next release and hope
for the best, but thanks for the explanation.
