shortcuts not working

Post by merelda »

Hi all,

My lyx shortcuts such as ctrl+m for inline maths functions, including ctrl+c/ctrl+v for copy paste, have all stopped working all of a sudden.

When I tried to use shortcuts with the ctrl key, random characters appear as attached. The esc key creates a short left-arrow. The ctrl+m however does nothing.

Please help, it's very painful typing without these shortcuts!

Thanks for the help!!

Regards,

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Hi all,

sorry for spamming but I found the cause.
Just had to change the binding to "sciword", thanks.
