Re: How to turn off justified text display in LyX 2.1 beta

[Jürgen Spitzmüller]

2013/12/10 Liviu Andronic

 To be more precise, in LyX we already have what other programs have,
 namely ability to set unjustified paragraph (Paragraph settings 
 Alignment  Left) which *does* modify the printed document. So in IMO
 the new (and very useful!) document setting to turn off on-screen
 justification generates some confusion by introducing a 2nd
 unjustified paragraph setting which this time does NOT modify the
 printed document.


My point is that this is more useful to me when it can be set for
individual documents (I would not like to set this generally). Your point
that Document settings holds output related stuff and preferences the
rest is not quite true. Document settings hold document specific stuff
(whatsoever) while Preferences holds global stuff (whatsoever), also output
related (see font encoding, language package etc.).

In many cases, we provide both a global and a local setting (see language
package, bibliography processor, font encoding etc.).


 This said, this feature is Juergen's baby, so he's in a better
 position to judge. :)


Actually, it is not :-) I can't remember who implemented it, but it was not
me. In any case, I only express my personal opinion, which is in no way
more authoritative than anybody else's.

Search - highlight of all occurrences of search term on display?

[Rainer M Krug]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi

Sometimes it is useful to highlight all occurrences of the search term,
e.g. when navigating to locations in the text where a certain term
occurs. Is this possible in LyX? I couldn't find anything in the
search dialog.

I am only referring to highlighting on the screen, not the compiled
document.

Is there something I have overlooked?

Cheers,

Rainer

It is not possible yet, and would be useful with a find-as-you-type

 Hi John,
 
 Point of clarification: I wouldn't be caught dead using LyX for any
 document under 10K words. For short docs, LibreOffice is just fine. Or
 straight TeX, which is dead bang simple. If the pleadings are less than
 10K words, why fight city hall: Use LibreOffice. LibreOffice, whose
 styles suck, still takes 1/10 the time to make styles that LaTeX based
 formats like LyX do. An hour or a day to make a style is no problem if
 you allocate it over the two months it took you to bang out 100K words,
 but it's a tragedy if you allocate it over the two days a 10K document
 took to write.
 
 
 NOTE: I stop here to give a chance to those who will come in to tell me
 that styles in LyX/LaTeX would be easy if only I were good at them, or
 to claim that various packages solve all problems, or to claim that
 LyX/LaTeX doc classes are so wonderful you can simply use their
 existing styles.
 
 
 It's very possible, and I think advisable, to use LyX for some things
 and LibreOffice for others.
 
 If you often write big documents, like over 20K words, I'd recommend
 you learn a little bit more about LyX, the latex executable,
 shellscripts, index internals, LaTeX commands and environments, and the
 like. Long run, you'll have more aesthetic output, and save time.

This is indeed a useful function. However, there is another function that 
achieves similar results and in some ways is better.

It works like this: Once the Find function finds its first result, pressing a 
specified key combination takes you to the next result no matter if the Find 
dialog window is open or not--there is no need to constantly mess with the Find 
dialog or remove your fingers from the keyboard to re-open it or to click a 
button.

To find the previous occurrence of the find-string, press another key 
combination. One way that this is superior to the highlight-all approach is 
that the screen is scrolled for you. In the highlight-all approach, scrolling 
to the next or previous find result can be difficult especially when the 
results are far apart.

When this functionality is combined with the ability to pass selected text to 
the Find function with still another key combination (without the need to copy 
the selected text, open the Find dialog, paste the selected text, then click 
some more to search forward or backward), the searching process becomes 
unbelievably streamlined.

This functionality has been a standardized feature in OS X programs from the 
beginning (going on 12 years) and might have been present in pre-OS X OS's from 
Apple (I can't recall for sure).

Some will recall that I have discussed this before, so I hate to be redundant, 
but I believe this is a very useful approach (and not exclusive to the 
highlight-all approach) and is sorely missed by OS X users. And it can be 
implemented in such a way that the more laborious approach is available in its 
current form--that's the way OS X does it, with sort of the long way and the 
power user way both available.

help with hebrew typesetting

[Hana Kogan]

Hi, I am an old time Latex user.
I have a need now to do typesetting in Hebrew.  I was advised to use LYX
and to add these commands to the lyxrc file:

 \rtl true

\screen_font_encoding iso8859-8

\screen_font_roman -*-times new roman

\screen_font_sans -*-arial

\screen_font_typewriter -*-courier new

\kbmap true

\kbmap_primary null

\kbmap_secondary hebrew

\bind F12 language hebrew


I searched all over the WEB to figure out how to get to this file. I can
not find it, no mention of it in the documentation. Please help!

Thank you!

Re: Search - highlight of all occurrences of search term on display?

[Jean-Marc Lasgouttes]

10/12/2013 12:04, Rainer M Krug:

Sometimes it is useful to highlight all occurrences of the search term,
e.g. when navigating to locations in the text where a certain term
occurs. Is this possible in LyX? I couldn't find anything in the
search dialog.

I am only referring to highlighting on the screen, not the compiled
document.

Is there something I have overlooked?



It is not possible yet, and would be useful with a find-as-you-type 
toolbar (that we do not have either).


This might make a worthwhile GSoC for next year.

Pity.

find-as-you-type toolbar would be really nice, but not that essential
for this highlight feature to be useful.

Looks like Ignacio has solved his problem (by using XeTeX):

Re: pleading paper

I find myself caught dead all the time, because I would not write a

It's a bit of a hassle to set things up sometimes, but once done, boy to

So keep pn trying :-)-O

This is indeed a useful function. However, there is another function that 
achieves similar results and in some ways is better.

It works like this: Once the Find function finds its first result, pressing a 
specified key combination takes you to the next result no matter if the Find 
dialog window is open or not--there is no need to constantly mess with the Find 
dialog or remove your fingers from the keyboard to re-open it or to click a 
button.

To find the previous occurrence of the find-string, press another key 
combination. One way that this is superior to the highlight-all approach is 
that the screen is scrolled for you. In the highlight-all approach, scrolling 
to the next or previous find result can be difficult especially when the 
results are far apart.

When this functionality is combined with the ability to pass selected text to 
the Find function with still another key combination (without the need to copy 
the selected text, open the Find dialog, paste the selected text, then click 
some more to search forward or backward), the searching process becomes 
unbelievably streamlined.

This functionality has been a standardized feature in OS X programs from the 
beginning (going on 12 years) and might have been present in pre-OS X OS's from 
Apple (I can't recall for sure).

Some will recall that I have discussed this before, so I hate to be redundant, 
but I believe this is a very useful approach (and not exclusive to the 
highlight-all approach) and is sorely missed by OS X users. And it can be 
implemented in such a way that the more laborious approach is available in its 
current form--that's the way OS X does it, with sort of the "long" way and the 
"power user" way both available.

help with hebrew typesetting

[Hana Kogan]

Hi, I am an old time Latex user.
I have a need now to do typesetting in Hebrew.  I was advised to use LYX
and to add these commands to the lyxrc file:

 \rtl true

\screen_font_encoding iso8859-8

\screen_font_roman "-*-times new roman"

\screen_font_sans "-*-arial"

\screen_font_typewriter "-*-courier new"

\kbmap true

\kbmap_primary null

\kbmap_secondary hebrew

\bind "F12" "language hebrew"


I searched all over the WEB to figure out how to get to this file. I can
not find it, no mention of it in the documentation. Please help!

Thank you!

Hana
