Thanks, Richard and Paul. I like the binding key combination idea.
But I haven't been able to find the steps to do this. I'm on a Mac.
Do I just find the Mac bind file and edit it?
Disclaimer: I'm not a Mac user (too left-brained, I guess), but I
think it works pretty much the same there as on other platforms.
Tools -> Preferences -> User interface -> Bind file will tell you
which bind file you are currently using (presumably the one you want
to hack). Browse should open the directory it lives in (normally <LyX
root>/Resources/bind in my experience). I suggest you copy it to your
local bind directory (see Help -> About LyX -> User dir to locate the
parent of the local bind directory). Open it in whatever the Mac text
editor is and add
\bind "..." "math-insert \overrightarrow"
at the bottom (replacing ... with whatever key combo you want to use).
Save and restart LyX. LyX should automatically take the hacked bind
file in preference to the original.
That all looks right to me.
FYI, 1.6 will have (when it is released, but it does now have in beta) a
GUI shortcut editor that makes this easier.
