Thanks, Wolfgang
Dear Wolfgang,
I am not sure to which "somewhere" you refer. In LyX, I see the
shortcuts indicated on menu entries that have shortcuts and all
shortcuts are listed under Preferences > Editing > Shortcuts.
Best, Daniel
Thanks, Daniel
under shortcuts I have
bindfile cua
show key bindings and everything else is empty.
The same, if I open various help files.
Could somebody send me an example, if he/she has shortcuts listed
in it?
Wolfgang
Attached is my cua.bind file. You can normally find it in your
Library directory (path to which can be found under Help > About
LyX). If it is not there, then I expect something is wrong with your
installation. If it is there, maybe it is overridden by another
cua.bind file in your User directory (path in About LyX)?
Daniel
Thanks, Daniel and Paul. I wasn't brave enough to click on the > 's
which shows a huge number of shortcuts. So my lyx seems to be ok.
My question is, whether there is a selection of some of the most
useful shortcuts, and whether (and how) they are displayed in my lyx
document.
Wolfgang
Is Help > Shortcuts doing what you are after?
Daniel
No, Daniel. I still do not understand how to get this >>>
(From User Guide 2.7)
You will learn more and more key bindings and short-cut keys as you use
LyX, because most actions will prompt a
>>> small message in the status bar at the bottom of LyX's main window
which describes the name of the action you have just triggered, and any
existing key bindings for that action. The LyX menus also list the
defined key bindings. The notation for the key bindings is very similar
to the notation used in this documentation, so you should not have any
problems understanding it. However, notice that Shift-modifiers are
explicitly mentioned, so “Alt+P Shift+A” means Alt+P followed by a
capital A.
Let' say, I paste with the mouse a few words in my document and do
Bold Strg+Alt+B
which does what I want. But I can't see afterwards the
small message in the status bar at the bottom of LyX's main window
Wolfgang
The status bar is where you see "Font: Default" with an empty document
open. When I take the steps you did I see:
Action: Paste text with the mouse
Status bar text: "Paste (paste ⌘V, ⇧Ins)"
which indicates that the paste keyboard shortcut is are ⌘V and ⇧Ins (on
Mac).
Action: Make text bold via the shortcut (on mac ⌘B)
Status bar text: "Font: Bold"
So, it seems if I trigger an action via the mouse, the shortcut is shown
while when I already know the shortcut and press it, the shortcut is not
shown. Makes sense to me.
Similarly: if you press the Emphasis toolbar button with the mouse, the
keyboard shortcut is shown, while if you press the shortcut it is not
shown.
Daniel
"where you see "Font: Default""
Where should I see it?
Let's take another example:
I would like to use a Bookmark
I do
>Navigate>Bookmarks>Save Bookmark1 and I am told to use ^ + F1
How do I invoke the status bar and how do I get this shortcut ^ + F1
into it?
Finally I would like to have a status bar shown with a number of often
used shortcuts in it at which I could click after having selected a
marked sequence of words or whatever, or after being at a certain place
in the document where the action (bookmark1) should be triggered
