Odd.  We are each running distributions of Linux (Fedora in my case), 
so the apps should be virtually identical.


I'll worry about this less then, as it probably won't happen when the 
publisher processes my .tex and .bib files.


Thank you for your effort!

Most LFUNs do get reported there (including this one), but not all. For
more info, you can also look at the messages pane, and active "action".

I'll just add that, if you want to do a number of things in a row, then
you will want to use the "command-sequence" LFUN, which lets you string
things together. You could use this e.g. to insert a custom item and
then move the cursor outside it:

    command-sequence argument-insert item:1; char-forward

If you're often going to leave the item blank, then this may make sense.

Oh, and I'll also add, though you may already know this (others may
not): You can test these before assigning them to keystrokes by opening
the Command Buffer (View> Toolbars> Command Buffer, or Meta-x or Alt-x
as a shortcut) and entering the LFUN stuff there.

Re: Bold face in LyX

[Chris Menzel]

Apparently the bug has been fixed in QT 5.12.0 beta 1:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-69955.

So hopefully we'll see an update before long.

When you insert something from menu, look at LyX's status bar: there you'll
see a command (argument-insert item:1). With that code you can now create a
custom keyboard shortcut, just write the code on the Function box (without
the brackets).

You have a list of all "LyX Functions" at Help → LyX Functions.

Hi Riki,

Attached is an MWE together with the PDF it generates.  Bullet points 2-4 are 
not visible on the PDF slides because of the Custom Item insert with nothing 
inside the insert box.

I'm not sure I know what you mean by a 'blank custom item'. Can you post a 
small LyX file that has one in it?

Keyboard shortcut for inserting custom item while using Beamer

[Shieh, Sanford]

Hi,

I find myself inserting blank custom items a lot while using Beamer, and so 
would like to have a keyboard shortcut for that.  As far as I can tell, there's 
no LyX function that does that, so I can't bind a key sequence to it.  Is there 
some other method that might work?

Thanks!

Bibliographic Slop-Over

[Daniel Kian Mc Kiernan (the best Daniel of the bunch)]

I've problems with bibliographical entries extending into the marginal 
area. With the default article layout, a URL is doing this.  With a 
Springer layout, a title is doing this.


Attached are small working examples (albeit not literally minimal).

Now, I assume that I could insert a bit of mark-up into the .bib file 
as a work-around, but it seems highly undesirable that I should have 
distinct .bib files for different layouts.


Thanks for whatever help might be offered.

Hi

I have two questions which are illustrated by the MWE attached. It is
a simple article class lyx file in German which has a local layout of

Format 66
Style XX*
     LatexType Environment
     LatexName XX*
     LabelString   "Examples."
     Margin    First_Dynamic
     LabelType Static
     Preamble
   \theoremstyle{definition}
   \newtheorem*{XX*}{\protect\fred}
     EndPreamble
     LangPreamble
   \providecommand{\fred}{_(YY)}
     EndLangPreamble
     BabelPreamble
   \addto\captions$$lang{\renewcommand{\fred}{_(Case)}}
     EndBabelPreamble
End

The png file shows how it looks on the screen. The first question I
have is how does lyx manage to translate the LabelString "Examples. "
in the local layout to "Beispiele" as shown on the screen? The
Customisation documentation says it uses the layouttranslations file,
but this word does not exist in this file only "Beispiel". If there is
some clever pluralisation then why does it not work with Remark and
Remarks?

Secondly the \addto\caption in BabelPreamble does not get added to the
preamble and so in the final pdf attached the word "Case" is not
translated and used as the heading (even though "Case" does exist in
layouttranslations).

The customisation documentation says that such a line should be added.

Is this local to me? Or have I just misunderstood something?

I use Ubuntu 16:04 and Lyx 2.3.1





As is often the case I should have read the documentation more closely. 
It says that BabelPremable is used in Multilingual documents, so if I 
add an English section as well sure enough I get two \addto\caption 
lines in the preamble and the display shows both translations.


The first question still holds though.
