My first pet peeve is that the export document command doesn't
appear to
generate any output, unless it's doing so in an unknown directory
different
from the directory of the .lyx source. In particular I'm trying to
convert
a lyx 1.6 file back into a 1.5.3 file so that I can run a more
'stable'
version.
I have seen no problems on exporting. The exported files (in whatever
format you choose) show up as normal in the same directory as the
original LyX file. I just tried exporting to a 1.5x format and that
worked fine too. Can you export to other file formats (e.g. PDF)?
My next problem is the bold font toggling in math mode. ctrl-B
generates a
default \mathsymbol{} command which is wrong wrong wrong! A bold math
character should almost always be non-italicized. The one exception
may be
Greek characters, but only because Latex has issues with that
anyway. The
reason is that a bold letter represents a vector or matrix, which
should
never be in italic font. Instead the old behavior of using
\mathbf{} is
probably the correct one. I am also annoyed by the 'feature' that
ctrl-B
no longer toggles bold on and off. How do I undo a bold or revert
back to
normal font? I need to be able to toggle back and forth with one
keystroke
or I literally don't want anything to do with the program. It's
just too
inefficient for maths that contain vectors or matrices.
You can customize this in your math bind file. The location of this
file is system-dependent. On the mac, it is inside the LyX package
folder.
My next peeve that I've found is that tab no longer navigates
through the
cells in an eqnarray. I haven't tried it with tables yet, but if it
has the
same behavior there, that would also be bad.
I agree with this. The tab key has been taken over by the (VERY NICE)
word completion system. I suppose that if enough people vote on this
issue, we may succeed in convincing the developers to use a different
approach to word completion (like emacs-style Esc-/)
