The keyboard shortcut ctrl+_ for subscript does not work on Mac OSX (Swiss keyboard layout). If I use German layout, I can make subscript but no fraction. I've tested on different machines. It always gives a fraction instead, for which the shortcut is ctrl+-.

  • $\begingroup$ @Andreas I can confirm that with German layout these work. With Swiss layout however, both give a fraction :( $\endgroup$

On my Swiss keyboard layout and a fresh installation, I can use ctrl-shift-6 to get the superscript box, and ctrl-5 to jump into the subscript. It's a workaround, I guess.
