oh thanks  for reminding  me of this :D I used it once; much better.

I am always hesitant about keybindings since I never know If I'm using 
a binding used by the system. For example, I do know that I can't use 
F12 as David does since F12 is used for another  software that runs on 
the system all the time  F12 is what brings it out when I need it!

thank you all.

Hello again,

I believe I didn't clear it out well. I meant a shortcut for the 
eqnarray not the equation numbering.

The default of your stated functions are:

math-number-line-toggle: Alt+M Shift+N
math-number-toggle: Alt+M N

both of which do the same thing; I already use the second one for 
numbering.

Note: LyX 2.0.3 on Ubuntu 10.04

Thanks again

 You can define keyboard shortcuts to substitute for many, if not all,
 menu choices.  I only use a few such shortcuts, and not for line
 numbering since I don't do that so often.  Look under Tools 
 Preferences  Shortcuts  Mathematical symbols, for
 math-number-line-toggle and math-number-toggle and assign them as you
 prefer.

 Another question is regarding fullscreen mode; the math toolbar pops out
 when I use Ctrl(+Shift)+M  that's useful, but what about the main
 toolbar? is there a way to bring it out temporarily in fullscreen
 mode?

 I don't know.

The gather environment will also do, or the equation array environment,
but not, perhaps surprisingly, the multiline environment, which is
specifically intended to a single equation that spans many lines

Actually the equation array environment appears not to do individual 
line numbering. It has the same effect as inset matrix



Please see the attached.

numbering multi-line formulas

[s nedunuri]

Hello, I wonder if anyone can help me with how to number multi-line 
formulas, as the Help manual appears to be out of date (it refers to 
menu options that no longer exist). I am running Lyx 2.0.2. I have a 
multi-line formula that I created via the Insert Matrix command. I 
would like to number each line in the formula. However, when I try this: 
Edit | Math |  there are two choices: Number Whole Formula or Number 
This Line. However, they seem to be the same thing. Turning one one 
automatically enables the other, as does turning either one off. The 
result is that either there is no numbering at all or one number for the 
entire array, which is not what I want. Anyone have any ideas?


thanks

The problem is that a matrix does not really give you a multi-line 
formula, it is a one-line formula including a matrix.  To get a 
multiline formula, use one of the aligned environments.  I prefer the 
eqnarray environment.  Then you can number each line of the multi-line 
environment.  I will attach a simply LyX file showing first an eqnarray 
environment, then a matrix environment, both numbered, but the matrix 
only allows numbering of the whole thing.
