Please no popup on a left click. The left click is indeed for positioning the cursor. I have a greater vocabulary than the wordlist, as do anybody who work in a specialist field or deal with names of foreigners. So there are plenty of words underlined in red, and I do NOT want a menu popping up whenever I navigate close to such words! LyX already have too many unwanted menus accidentally popping up when positioning the cursor into some complicated nesting of minipages & images & hfills inside a float. Let's not have that inconvenience in plain text too – plain text is a large part of all writing. Also, I don't see why right-clicking is harder than left-clicking? Sure, we use the left click more, but the right is just as easy? And with a right click, I get a list with possible corrections, some possible splits, and the option of adding this word to the lists. ________________________________ Fra: lyx-users <lyx-users-boun...@lists.lyx.org> på vegne av paolo m. <paolo.pumi...@gmail.com> Sendt: torsdag 29. juli 2021 21:14:21 Til: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org Emne: A more effective error correction mechanism The editor in gmail underlines in red words that cannot be founf in its vocabulary, as lyx does, but it differs in correction, carried out without right clicking: just left clicking on that word pops up the list of 1) alternatives and 2) possible splitting Then - if you click on any item of that list, word is corrected accordingly. Left clicking on a word not underlined does not trigger any popups, just places the cursor. - if you delete the list of the alternatives, that word is included in you personal dictionary Please can anyone check this out? I think it would be convenient to implement that mechanism in lyx. thank you pol -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
