2.4.0~RC4 Keyboard shortcut Command-period

2024-05-07 Thread fcanatay
Greetings,

Version 2.4.0~RC4 on Mac seems to have assigned the shortcut Command-period to 
a strange character that looks like a grey dot on screen. The Code Preview Pane 
reveals that it writes “\@.” to the file. Does anyone know what this is for? I 
am unable to assign a different function to Command-period (it says “Command 
disabled” when I try), which used to work fine in version 2.3.7.

Best,

Fatihcan Atay

Brian,

Perhaps I'm not understanding your issues, so take my comments with this
thought in mind.

When I insert a figure I use the 'insert figure float' icon to open a figure
window. In the caption window I add a label then the caption text. When
done, I use the trackball to set the cursor above the caption. Pressing
Alt-A C centers the cursor in the figure window and that's where I click the
'insert graphics' icon.

Browsing to the figure's location (usually an 'images' subdirectory in the
project's directory tree) I select the figure. When inserted I use
ctrl-shift s to save the figure.

Now I can trim excess space surrounding the image to be seen in the complied
report. Right-clicking on the image itself brings up the settings option.
Clicking on that I select the 'Coordinates' tab and, by trial-and-error
adjust the x and y values until the excess white space (or other unwanted
content) is removed. While doing this I use 'Apply' button instead of the
'Save' button so I can continue trimming until satisfied.

HTH,

Rich

Clipping graphics in Lyx

2024-05-07 Thread Brian Kneller via lyx-users
Hello,

I have tried clipping graphics to remove white spaces and centre it on the 
page.  I have been unable to find a detailed  description as to how it should 
be done. From my experience I have assumed the zero in the bottom LHS of the 
graphic to which a pair of coordinates and associated and likewise the is 
another pair on the top RHS. I centre the graphic horizontally by changing the 
“x” values on the clipping  entries and this seems to be quite easy the 
vertical parameters (y) are more difficult to adjust. I am finding the outcome 
of adjustments is difficult to predict making trimming time consuming. How does 
the presentation logic respond to changes in clipping values I suspect the 
float function interacts with this?. All my figures are one page high so I 
really don’t need to float (?) 1-  would suppressing floating help and if so 
what is best way ?

Thanks for your help

Re: crash inserting branch

2024-05-07 Thread Paolo M
Crash happens when the preamble includes the following commands:

\usepackage{amssymb}

\DeclareUnicodeCharacter{25A2}{$\square$}


In my test, crash happened at the insertion of a second branch, just typing
a character in.
