Hi all! Don't know whether this is the correct place to drop ideas but I have some questions/ideas/wishes. I am not really a programmer so I don't know what it would take to implement these ideas. In addition I am very new to LyX. I started using it a couple of weeks ago. So my ideas might just be a beginners perception which changes in time by gaining more control and experience over the program.
I wonder if it is a good idea to: * Put an explicit link to the "Output size settings" (Embedded Objects document) in the Users Guide which will save time to Beginners wondering why the figures exceed page margins in the output pdf. * I like LyX a lot. However, I feel that the necessity to use the Environment's drop down menu the whole time to assign an environment is time waisting and in the end it turns to become anti-productive especially if one works upon a big document. I had no doubt that there are key-shortcuts but it was not so easy to find them initially (...where is the "Reference Manual" whis is mentioned in the User's Guide, section 2.6 [1] ?). So, what about: (a) explain in the User's Guide [1] the way to assign common environments or link in a table where all this stuff is described (b) implement a Format Paintbrush tool (like in OpenOffice). Key shortcuts are the fastest way in my humble opinion to work with document processing tools. Yet, a Format Paintbrush tool is makes life easy: you just select the environment of your interest, "scan" your document and format let's say Section titles one by one. Kind regards, Nikos [1] In Section 2.6: Basic Key Bindings --- By the way: I read in this section, in the final sentence of the pre-last paragraph: "...so “M-p S-A” means Meta-p followed by a capital A." Was it meant to be "...followed by a Shift-A"?
