 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,

 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.

Agreed - this would be very useful and time saving.

 
 To find the previous occurrence of the find-string, press another
 key combination.

Also agreed - forward and backward search by keyboard would be very
useful.

 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.

Both are useful - It is advantageous to see all occurrences
highlighted to assess the context of the search term, but moving to
the next one by keyboard shortcut would be a very useful addition to
this - they would supplement each other. See e.g. the search in
Firefox: one Button which says Highlight All and one to search
backward and forward - just also via keyboard shortcuts.

 
 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.

Sounds great - effectively a search in the background. If pone wants
to see a dialog, just press a different key combination.

 
 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).

Interesting - I am using Mac, but was never aware of this - what are
the shortcuts there?

 
 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.

+1

This definitely sounds like a useful GSoC project?

I cannot test with Times New Roman, as I do not have it. But your file compiles 
correctly with, e.g., the freely available Deja Vu Serif. It does not with 
other fonts (such as TeX Gyre Termes, for instance). This seems to suggest your 
problem is font-related and not LyX-related.

Perhaps you thought you were using Times New Roman in (Lua|Xe)Latex, but
the system picked up another font instead (maybe one of the TeX fonts, or
one of the various Times clones).

In digests up through  'lyx-users Digest 6 Dec 2013 21:43:47 - Issue 984' 
the mime information in the email had outlook rendering the attachment names as

digests since and including 'lyx-users Digest 8 Dec 2013 21:55:39 - Issue

I have not changed any of my user settings in ezmlm (for a very long time).

Has something changed in the overall lyx-users mailing list program config, or 
was It more likely some admin in my mail system chain messed with mime

Perhaps you thought you were using Times New Roman in (Lua|Xe)Latex, but
the system picked up another font instead (maybe one of the TeX fonts, or
one of the various Times clones).

lyx Mailing list (ezmlm) digest question

2013-12-12 Thread Denniston, Todd A CIV NAVSURFWARCENDIV Crane 
In digests up through  'lyx-users Digest 6 Dec 2013 21:43:47 - Issue 984' 
the mime information in the email had outlook rendering the attachment names as 
subjects of the respective emails, which I very much liked,
digests since and including 'lyx-users Digest 8 Dec 2013 21:55:39 - Issue 
985' have the attachment names as 'lyx-users_#.ezm'.
I have not changed any of my user settings in ezmlm (for a very long time).

Has something changed in the overall lyx-users mailing list program config, or 
was It more likely some admin in my mail system chain messed with mime 
attachments?

Thanks for the feedback.

Very nice review. Maybe only one remark: I see atb the bottom of the page
the following:
Works With: Windows

LyX works with the main OSs of today, including Linux and OSX, not only
Windows. This is supplementary advantage in my eyes. I can teach our
doctoral students LyX and friends knowing that they will be able to use it
under the OS they use, whatever it is.

Agreed - this would be very useful and time saving.

Also agreed - forward and backward search by keyboard would be very
useful.

Both are useful - It is advantageous to see all occurrences
highlighted to assess the context of the search term, but moving to
the next one by keyboard shortcut would be a very useful addition to
this - they would supplement each other. See e.g. the search in
Firefox: one Button which says "Highlight All" and one to search
backward and forward - just also via keyboard shortcuts.

Sounds great - effectively a search in the background. If pone wants
to see a dialog, just press a different key combination.

I cannot test with Times New Roman, as I do not have it. But your file compiles 
correctly with, e.g., the freely available Deja Vu Serif. It does not with 
other fonts (such as TeX Gyre Termes, for instance). This seems to suggest your 
problem is font-related and not LyX-related.
 

Cheers,

Stefano
