UI - Mac: select and drag text

[Peter Baumgartner]

Is there a possibility in LyX to select text and drag it with the mouse to
another position? Some shortcut I'm missing?

This is maybe a very silly question and people may answer with RTFM but I
honestly couldn't find anything in the documentation.

This is not supported by LyX currently (and there are no plans that I

Re: What are your favorite packages?

[Julio Rojas]

I didn't know about cmap. I believe this should be one of the
packages loaded by default. Another one should be dcolumn, which
provides decimal point alignment for columns of entries in a tabular.

I also like:
biblatex
undertilde %Some particular notation I use
enumitem
mathpazo
bbm %Which I use for the notation of the indicator function.

I  was vaguely looking for something that might handle Canadian citations and

Looks like it might be a bug in the document class
(http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/Comp/comp.text.tex/2009-11/msg00684.html).
 As a workaround, you can insert the following into your document preamble:

\newcommand\bibsection{%
\section*{\bibname\markright{\MakeUppercase{\bibname

If you do not care for the title it prints (for instance, if it prints
Bibliography but you want References), change \bibname to the text you

Hi Jose,

If you've been using the LyX-Outline branch, you may want to update to
the most recent version.  It's been a little over a week since I've
merge LyX trunk.  (I've been trying to fix a problem related to tabbing

I merged the source again this morning.  It incorporates a lot of
bugfixes that may have been specific to your problems.  (In addition to
fixing a small memory leak that I found with the Corkboard.)
