Is it possible to track changes but not actually have the tracking be

You can edit without track changes enabled and then use tools  compare (with 
the enable change tracking features in the output checkbox checked).

This works, but is slower, and doesn't record the changes for your

Getting rid of You cannot type two spaces this way message?

[Bill Foote]

Dear LyX community,

First, thank you for a wonderful editor!

Is there an easy way for me to get rid of the You cannot ... Please read the
tutorial message?  I know that typing two spaces that way doesn't change the
layout, and I'm more-or-less fine with LyX auto-deleting the space.  I'm
completely fine with TeX not changing the formatting based on extra spaces. 
With all that said, I'd prefer that LyX stop nagging.  I know already!

I'm not going to adjust my typing style, because most of the time when I type,
putting two spaces after a period or some other punctuation is the right thing
to do.  Also, I learned to type on a manual typewriter in the mid-70's when I
was in 4th grade; that muscle memory ain't going away any time soon :-)

I know I could hack the code myself, but then I'd have to maintain my hack
across each upgrade.  Is there a preference I can set?  If not, is there a way I
can file a request for enhancement?  :-)

Cheers,

Bill

Actually, I think Bill meant he could hack the LyX code to get rid of the
warning, not the TeX engine to allow it.

I would agree with him: that warning is annoying to any user who (1) is old
enough to have internalized the 2-spaces after period rule and (2) uses
LyX more than occasionally. A preference setting would work great, I think.
Or alternatively, a rule that disable the warning after a fixed amount of
repetitions(20, say).

Cheers,

Stefano

Re: Getting rid of You cannot type two spaces this way message?

[Jens Nöckel]

Although I also ignore this LyX message, there is something inconsistent here: 
if two spaces generate a message, then why don't we get an analogous message 
after pressing return several times? Admittedly, it's a little different 
because LyX allows a few more returns before stopping to add them - but the 
basic reasoning is the same: LaTeX won't do anything with the additional new 
lines (or white space of any kind) and the user may not be aware of that. 

So to be consistent, either add even more warnings or get rid of the space 
warning. An argument in favor of dropping the warning would be that there is 
already the visual feedback that LyX simply won't budge when repeatedly given 
spaces or new lines. On the other hand, I don't think the status message at the 
bottom of the window is all that annoying. Just wanted to point out the 
inconsistency.

Jens

 beamerarticle package mentioned in the Beamer User Guide).
 
 In addition, LyX provides branches for content that can be toggled on and 
 off document-wide
 via DocumentSettingsBranches (this works for all document classes).

Would be very nice if preamble settings could also be stored in a branch. Then 
this could be done
very easily.

The problem is that a matrix does not really give you a multi-line

the matrix only allows numbering of the whole thing.


The gather environment will also do, or the equation array environment,

You can edit without track changes enabled and then use tools  compare (with the

This works, but is slower, and doesn't record the changes for your

We really should fix this, and it shouldn't be that hard. It's often

Getting rid of You cannot type two spaces this way message?

[Bill Foote]

Dear LyX community,

First, thank you for a wonderful editor!

Is there an easy way for me to get rid of the You cannot ... Please read the
tutorial message?  I know that typing two spaces that way doesn't change the
layout, and I'm more-or-less fine with LyX auto-deleting the space.  I'm
completely fine with TeX not changing the formatting based on extra spaces. 
With all that said, I'd prefer that LyX stop nagging.  I know already!

I'm not going to adjust my typing style, because most of the time when I type,
putting two spaces after a period or some other punctuation is the right thing
to do.  Also, I learned to type on a manual typewriter in the mid-70's when I
was in 4th grade; that muscle memory ain't going away any time soon :-)

I know I could hack the code myself, but then I'd have to maintain my hack
across each upgrade.  Is there a preference I can set?  If not, is there a way I
can file a request for enhancement?  :-)

Cheers,

Bill

Actually, I think Bill meant he could hack the LyX code to get rid of the
warning, not the TeX engine to allow it.

I would agree with him: that warning is annoying to any user who (1) is old
enough to have internalized the 2-spaces after period rule and (2) uses
LyX more than occasionally. A preference setting would work great, I think.
Or alternatively, a rule that disable the warning after a fixed amount of
repetitions(20, say).

Cheers,

Stefano

Re: Getting rid of You cannot type two spaces this way message?

[Jens Nöckel]

Although I also ignore this LyX message, there is something inconsistent here: 
if two spaces generate a message, then why don't we get an analogous message 
after pressing return several times? Admittedly, it's a little different 
because LyX allows a few more returns before stopping to add them - but the 
basic reasoning is the same: LaTeX won't do anything with the additional new 
lines (or white space of any kind) and the user may not be aware of that. 

So to be consistent, either add even more warnings or get rid of the space 
warning. An argument in favor of dropping the warning would be that there is 
already the visual feedback that LyX simply won't budge when repeatedly given 
spaces or new lines. On the other hand, I don't think the status message at the 
bottom of the window is all that annoying. Just wanted to point out the 
inconsistency.

Jens

The problem is that a matrix does not really give you a multi-line

multiline formula, use one of the aligned environments.  I prefer the 
eqnarray environment.  Then you can number each line of the multi-line

eqnarray environment, then a matrix environment, both numbered, but 
the matrix only allows numbering of the whole thing.


The gather environment will also do, or the equation array environment,

You can edit without track changes enabled and then use tools>  compare (with the

This works, but is slower, and doesn't record the changes for your

That's what I am doing right now - but then I am open to edits in both and 
conflicts when saving.
At the moment I set the background of one LyX instance to red to remind me: DO 
NOT EDIT!

What would help here, is to be able to set one LyX window / instance to 
read-only.

Is this possible?

Getting rid of "You cannot type two spaces this way" message?

[Bill Foote]

Dear LyX community,

First, thank you for a wonderful editor!

Is there an easy way for me to get rid of the "You cannot ... Please read the
tutorial" message?  I know that typing two spaces that way doesn't change the
layout, and I'm more-or-less fine with LyX auto-deleting the space.  I'm
completely fine with TeX not changing the formatting based on "extra" spaces. 
With all that said, I'd prefer that LyX stop nagging.  I know already!

I'm not going to adjust my typing style, because most of the time when I type,
putting two spaces after a period or some other punctuation is the right thing
to do.  Also, I learned to type on a manual typewriter in the mid-70's when I
was in 4th grade; that muscle memory ain't going away any time soon :-)

I know I could hack the code myself, but then I'd have to maintain my hack
across each upgrade.  Is there a preference I can set?  If not, is there a way I
can file a request for enhancement?  :-)

Cheers,

Bill

Start ignoring it. :) This is what I did. Besides, it's a good idea to
always show it, so as to quickly and clearly explain new users what
happens and why. LyX cannot know whether the user typing _knows_ it
already or not.

Likely TeX/LaTeX would disagree.

I would be surprised. TeX simply ignores multiple spaces. If you want
to change this, you may need to look into hacking the TeX engine
itself (assuming you export to LaTeX). You could go the way of very
ugly hacks such as adding a protected space to each normal space, but
again this seems like a very bad idea. See [1] for some discussion of
this point.

Actually, I think Bill meant he could hack the LyX code to get rid of the
warning, not the TeX engine to allow it.

I would agree with him: that warning is annoying to any user who (1) is old
enough to have internalized the "2-spaces after period" rule and (2) uses
LyX more than occasionally. A preference setting would work great, I think.
Or alternatively, a rule that disable the warning after a fixed amount of
repetitions(20, say).

Cheers,

Stefano

Re: Getting rid of "You cannot type two spaces this way" message?

[Jens Nöckel]

Although I also ignore this LyX message, there is something inconsistent here: 
if two spaces generate a message, then why don't we get an analogous message 
after pressing  several times? Admittedly, it's a little different 
because LyX allows a few more returns before stopping to add them - but the 
basic reasoning is the same: LaTeX won't do anything with the additional new 
lines (or white space of any kind) and the user may not be aware of that. 

So to be consistent, either add even more warnings or get rid of the  
warning. An argument in favor of dropping the warning would be that there is 
already the visual feedback that LyX simply won't budge when repeatedly given 
spaces or new lines. On the other hand, I don't think the status message at the 
bottom of the window is all that annoying. Just wanted to point out the 
inconsistency.

Jens
