Hi,
I want to be able to view the open files that I'm editing as
floating windows.
This would be like having multiple files open for editing and being
able to drag
them around for optimal viewing (like in Excel, UltraEdit, WinEdit
and a number
of other text editors). Can I do this?
File -> New Window
or if you want this to be the default behavior,
Preferences -> Look & Feel -> User Interface
then uncheck the "Open documents in tabs" box.
Also, I want to be able to make something like margins in the text
that I'm
editing so that the text lines don't flow to the width of the LyX
window. This
is for editing only, not for the output. I've read a number of
requests for
this option in the archive--is there an option or hack for doing this?
Really the only way to do this is to resize the window. Many of us
actually really like this feature of LyX - that it doesn't try to
impose a particular layout (e.g. margins) on you when editing.
