lyx change environment with keyboard
Much in the way that the tab key iterates over section levels:
Part -> Chapter -> Section -> Subsection -> Subsubsection -> Paragraph
-> Subparagraph
I would like to do the same thing for my requirements, see code below.
For example, pressing a key or key sequence on keyboard "Requirement1"
would change the level to "Requirement2", and so on.
Is this possible? Or, is it possible to change a key binding dependant
on the "Style" within a ".layout" file?

for all who have no interest in this whatsoever, but since a brief

outdated (due to the improvements since Lyx 1.4, 1.5 etc.), I thought
it might be helpful to share the instructions:
1. Write the following code into the Latex Preamble (Document

\usepackage{CJKutf8}
\usepackage[overlap, CJK]{ruby}
\newenvironment{SChinese}{%
\CJKfamily{gbsn}%
\CJKtilde
\CJKnospace}{}
\newcommand{\cntxt}[1]{\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{}\begin{SChinese}#1\end{SChinese}\end{CJK}}
2. Then, when you want to write Chinese in the text, do the following:
Open a Tex Box (in menu, 6^th button from right). Into the Tex box
then write the following command [replacing the characters below with
whatever Chinese you want to write].
\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{}\begin{SChinese}整治\end{SChinese}\end{CJK}

Dear Lyx Community
I'm currently using Lyx version 2.02 and am trying to create a text
document (mainly in English) that also contains a few Chinese
characters. However, having written my text, whenever I clicked on
pdf viewer, the program said it "Could not find LaTeX command for
character '整' (code point 0x548c) and suggested I selected utf8
[i.e., Unicode] in Document --> Settings --> Language --> Encoding
and then try again. So I set Encoding to “Unicode (utf8)", but to no
avail. I got exactly the same message. I then tried "Unicode (CJK)
(utf8)" and successively all the different unicode settings, all
without success. I also tried playing around with the various other
settings under Document --> Language (i.e., setting Language to
Chinese, choosing the different Language packages [default,
automatic, always babel, custom, none]), but all without success.
Any suggestion what I could do?
Many thanks!
Nicholas
Does this help you ?

I tried again the instructions from this wiki page (which I wrote myself
by the way), and it still works for me.
On which platform are you ? If you are at Windows, you need to make
sure that MikTeX has installed the packages has installed "cjk" and
"arphic". Then you need to refresh the filename database of MikTeX.
I'll try "cjk-fonts" and XeTeX as well.

I don't believe so, but why would you need one? What are you trying to do? I use memoir all the times, and I always start with a new document and set the class to book(memoir) in Document>>Settings. Is there any specific memoir configuration you would have to use a template for?

Difficulty viewing pdf output
I receive the following error message: Could not display "/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.T25823/lyx_tmpbuf2/MRS_2012.pdf" The location is not a folder. The pdf file exists and is viewable, just not using the view button in lyx. I tried using the -dgb debug switch from the command line, but this introduced what appeared to be spurious errors.. no generation of pdf. Any help would be appreciated. Art Edwards
memoir book templates
Hi all, I do appreciate if one can tell me if there exist a Lyx template for memoir book class and if yes, where can I find it. Thanks AB

Great, thank you for posting the solution Nicholas!
If you have some time could you update the wiki page?
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Chinese
It was last updated more than a year ago.
You don't need to sign up for a user name or anything.
Best,
