Hi,
in LyX 1.4.2 on Mac OS X, I'm missing a LyX function that used to
work in LyX 1.3.6: "menu-open documents" which used to bring up a
menu with all open buffers that I could then navigate with the
arrow keys. Under xemacs.bind, this function is bound to C-x C-b.
I've looked at the list of lfuncs and tried various things but
nothing brings up this buffer menu anymore. When I enter "menu-
open documents" in the minibuffer, LyX does NOT complain that the
function is unknown, and echos the correct keybinding for it in
the status line. But no buffer menu appears. So I'm suspecting
this is a bug.
No, it's just a consequence of changes to the menus from 1.3.x to
1.4.x.
Try "menu-open view". The "menu-open" command emulates your
clicking on a menu (or typing its accelerator key). The old
"documents" menu is gone, and the new "document" menu only applies
to the current buffer. The list of loaded documents is now at the
bottom of the "view" menu.
Thanks, that's what I wanted to know. So it would probably be a good
idea to permanently modify the versions of emacs.bind and xemacs.bind
that are shipped with LyX 1.4.2 accordingly: i.e, replace the line
\bind "C-x C-b" "menu-open documents"
by
\bind "C-x C-b" "menu-open view"
in order to get back that emacs-like feature. Looks like none of the
other standard bind files makes use of that particular function...
