This *shouldn't* be required. I can type accents in LyX just like I
can in any other application on Mac (with the exception that when I
hit <option>-e initially in LyX, I don't see the acute accent
appearing above the cursor as is normal for other applications,
though when I hit the second e (without the <option> key), I get
the
"é" character).
This is very cool (I'm relatively new to Macs, so I didn't know
about
this input method). But it doesn't work for me, either. Details
below.
I have the same behavior as Maria. No accents.
I am using OS X 10.4.8 and LyX 1.4.2 with mac.bind.
If I remember right, I had the same nice behavior as Bennett in LyX/
Mac before I upgraded to LyX/Mac 1.4.1 and OS 10.4.5. That's why I
was surprised that I couldn't duplicate it and assumed that I was
just not remembering the correct keystrokes.
I've done some further testing. I use the Dvorak keyboard, which
gives me no problem. When I switch to the US or US Extended
keyboards, I don't get accents: typing "<option>-e e" gives me
nothing on the screen. However, switching to at least some
international keyboards restores accents. Thus, the German keyboard
enables me to type "<option>-u u" to give me a "ü".
This means something is going wrong with the interpretation of the US
keyboards. Any help from developers?
