yes. and they are even shown for a short while in the status bar at the very bottom of LyX when you select a layout style from the list. > I do a lot of beamer > presentations, could use one for 'begin frame' and 'itemize'. I am not sure for 'begin frame', but itemize is pretty standard. you can define your own shortcuts in a bind file like in the example below. Günter # ################################## # gm.bind: private keybindings file # ################################## # To customize the bindings, you can write your own bind-file (or use # this template) and load the default bindings from here. # In the GUI, set the bindings to your privat bind-file. LyX will search for # private keybinding files in the directory ~/.lyx/bind/ # Inputs # ====== # Before defining your own bindings, select one of the available default # binding sets. These are resource files (like this one) that define a # large set of (keyboard) bindings. These files live in the /bind directory of # the LyX system directory and have the .bind suffix. # # The \bind_file command looks in the LyX bind directory for a file # of the given name, so a full path should not be given. # # Currently, you can choose from the following flavors: # \bind_file cua.bind # KDE-, Windows-, Mac- and Motif-like bindings #\bind_file emacs.bind # for Emacs-like bindings. # ... # we also would like to incorporate some additional menu shortcuts # \bind_file menus.bind # English menu shortcut additions \bind_file de_menus.bind # German version # Customization # ============= # Based on the default, you can now change part or all of it with the # \bind command. # Bugfix # ------ # word-delete-forward deletes also non-word space behind the word! # \bind "C-Delete" "word-delete-forward" \bind "C-Delete" "command-sequence word-capitalize; delete-forward" # ... ## New Layout Styles for Seminar # # Adapted for de_menus.bind.
