Heh, no, it doesn't work like that.

LCedit's key handling is just a bit odd internally though, to be able to 
easily support strange key-combos like option-pageup or control-shift-F3 
etc...  I just checked however, and noticed that for global key 
handling (including the first CLI char) and the cuelist editor I use the 
key code (which key was pressed) rather than character code (which text 
is associated with this) which is probably the reason Ukelele doesn't 
work.  Fixing this would be a bit tricky though...  hmm

It would probably be better to just allow various keys to be customized 
in some future version of LCedit.
