Thank you Stephan, I know feel rather silly: since it works for you, I kept insisting, looking at the message log, and I finally realised that I have to let go of the ctrl key after the first G - thanks a million!

Hi All,

I hope somebody can help - I have searched the message board, but there is 
nothing recent that I could find to solve my problem.

I just moved from Windows to Mac (Macbook pro), on OS Maverick, using Lyx 2.1.0 (April 
2014 release). I cannot make most of the shortcuts work. I understand that e.g. the 
shortcut for \gamma, "^ M G G" , stands for ctlr-m-m-g, but if I press this key 
combination nothing happens. Using either the command or option keys instead of ctrl also 
makes no difference (or produces different results).
Hi Paola,

the shortcut for \gamma on Mac is Control-m g g - four key strokes: Control, m, 
g, g.

This works for me.

I read somewhere that the ctrl key is not recognised in Lyx, so I changed the shortcuts 
in lyx\preferences\Editing\shortcuts, but again nothing happens (for the specific example 
to "Command M G G"). I have checked and the system is using the mac.bind.

Can anyone suggest a (simple please!) solution? I am a total beginner with Mac 
OS, so I am not at all confindent with meddling with configuration files, and 
would love any solution implementable from inside the Lyx gui.

Thanks!
paola
