Frankly I don't use shortcuts very often and I never use asian 
languages, but I cannot resist a challenge. Therefore I gave it a try 
and came to the conclusion that there is no easy way out.

An alternative idea I had was be to install a

I have indeed only looked to the key handling at the Widget level.
Is there a possibility to receive all key events at the application 
level? If yes then maybe your proposal might work.
But shouldn't key handling be done preferentially by the widget involved?

With the qt5 behavior lyx could handle all situations correctly and 
AquaSKK should have done something similar.

We'll see what the qt-developers think about it. They may have had other 
reasons for switching the behavior.
