* This is quite natural with compound shortcut assignments. Otherwise how should LyX know what the user wants to do when they press Alt+I: should it directly open the Insert sub-menu or wait till Shift+# or some other key combination is pressed?
OK. So I tried with “Alt+I +” instead [one of the few symbol on my keyboard that does not require a shift key; I do not use a US keyboard]. Here is how that works: * After I define the shortcut for Program Listing, doing the shortcut “Alt+I +” correctly inserts the program listing. The Insert sub-menu does not show up. * If I do “Alt+I Alt+I”, that switches me back so that the Insert sub-menu shows up. * If I next do “Alt+I +”, this again inserts the program listing. If I open the Preferences with Shortcuts again, I notice (like before) that there are two “listing-insert” lines. [cid:[email protected]] Anyways. The same seems to happen when I do Alt+I Shift+#. (When I sent the question, I assumed the shortcut was broken…). The extra “listing-insert” *without* shortcut in fat – is that for the case when I open the submenu and have to click on the Program Listing item? -- Since I use the Program Listing quite a bit, it would be nice if there was a default shortcut like for most of the items in the Insert menu. -----Original Message----- From: lyx-users <[email protected]> On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2025 4:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: LyX 2.4: problems with defining Keyboard Shortcut > So I go to Tools/Preferences/Editing/Shortcuts, and find "listing-insert" in > the Function column.
