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...
Agreed. I'll put it in bugzilla if it's not already there.
