so that RecordType appears in the style combo box, the shortcut key
Alt+P 1 no longer works. Of course I could assign a new shortcut key
combination to the RecordType style, but where a hierarchy of new
styles is involved (as here), it seems kinder to the user to continue
using the familiar shortcut keys, Alt+P 0 to Alt+P 5, which are likely
to be instinctive to any long-term LyX user.
I've tried command-alternatives but that doesn't seem to work in this
case.
This is a bug: "layout Chapter" is enabled, even though Chapter is not
available.
I would like to be able to write something like
Style Chapter
Alias RecordType
...
so that RecordType (not Chapter) appears in the style combo box, but
because Chapter is still used for the style name, the shortcut key
continues to work: Alt+P 1 inserts the (heavily) revised Chapter style
(which is really now a RecordType style).
This is a good idea. If you file an enhancement bug, I'll take care of
it as soon as I have some time. But it's a format change, so it won't
appear until 2.1.0.
If you do file that, can you also file a bug about the Chapter problem?
