Re: Key bindings

Peleg Michaeli [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb:

 Very simple: I have reconfigured GNOME, so now when I press Alt Gr +
 s, for example, I get σ. If I press the same key combination with
 Caps-Lock on, or with Shift key pressed as well, I get Σ. Pressing the
 key that is just near the z key on its left produces ∀, and doing that
 with Shift produces ∃, and many more options.
...
 it is much shorter to write emails to friends like this:
 Let x∈P and y∈Q. Since P and Q are normal, xyx^-1y^-1∈P∩Q={e}... ⇒
 something... or compare ...hence P\subseteq Q to ...hence P⊆Q.
...
 It is important to say also that the configuration is very basic, and it
 works in ANY software on my computer, including LyX.

So LyX sees the unicode characters (Gnome/X11 does the key-combo -
character conversion and LyX does not know which key was pressed to get
the char):

 So, in LyX, when I press Alt Gr + a I get α, but I don't want to get α
 − I want to get \alpha, and I believed that LyX might have a solution
 to this need.

- To bind other functions (like math-insert ...) to these key-combos,
   you must know the QT-specification of the given unicode char.

Example: For a German keyboard, I have in my personal gm.bind:

\bind M-a S-equal layout Part*  # M-a S-0
\bind M-a S-exclamlayout Chapter*   # M-a S-1
\bind M-a S-§ layout Subsection*# M-a S-3 qt
\bind M-a S-section   layout Subsection*# M-a S-3 xforms

* Some characters (=,!.#) have names (§), others are given literally
  (in QT)

* you will need to specify the Shift modifier. You can use the ~S notation
  for optionally with Shift (this reverses the precedence when the
  same key-combo is bound again later).

 (and, apparently, it has − but only in 1.6). 

Binding a function to the characters (like µ - math-insert \mu) should
be possible in 1.5 also. In LyX 1.6 you will not need to do this
because LyX should accept and work with unicode characters in math, so
that you can drag-and-drop your friends email with

 Let x∈P and y∈Q. Since P and Q are normal, xyx^-1y^-1∈P∩Q={e}... ⇒

and LyX will produce a valid LaTeX source (keeping the characters as
unicode chars in the *.lyx file).

 I thought of moving to 1.6 (but still hesitating), unless you have a
 better solution!

You could consider home-compiling 1.6 configuring it to use a 16 prefix
(the binary and the used LYXDIR will be called lyx16 instead of lyx so
you can use it alongside LyX 1.5).

Re: Single Author, Single Year, Multiple Articles

Hi,

could you briefly explain why you would want the citation to show up  
as a/b although you seem to include only a single reference in your  
text? After all, a unique letter would be required only if you had two  
or more citations in your article that would otherwise look the same  
when using the author-date style.


In other words, a cite-key is one thing, a formatted citation is  
something else.


Cheers,
Christian

You can change the year in the entry to 2000a and 2000b otherwise there is no
way to tell which on you meant anyway.

Another option is to use numeric references ([2],[3] etc) instead of author
year (depends on the target audience if this is relevant). You can also add
some more description in the text.

Springer Style in Lyx

[bluegreengrassnow bluegreengrassnow]

I'm trying to use lyx to write a document in springer lecture notes style. I 
created the following layout file, however it doesn't create output documents 
in the correct style:

#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[svjour3]{article (svjour3)}
# Input general definitions
Input stdclass.inc


The svglov3.clo and svjour3.cls files provided by springer are installed in 
tex\latex\sv-journ3.  Springer also provides a template latex file that renders 
correctly in TeXnicCenter but not in Lyx when imported.

Can someone help with this?

LyX includes a layout file for LNCS.

 I created the following layout file, however it doesn't create output 
documents in the correct style:


Why do you not just use the LyX-provided documentclass

It is there in both 1.5.7 and 1.6.0.

Apparently the Win XP installations of LyX 1.5.6 and 1.6.0 are missing 
the Python module csv.py, which is necessary for the conversion script. 
 If you have a full installation of Python available, just copy it to 
the LyX scripts directory.  If not, have a look on the Web.  If you

Re: Single Author, Single Year, Multiple Articles

[Christian Liesen]

Hi,

could you briefly explain why you would want the citation to show up  
as a/b although you seem to include only a single reference in your  
text? After all, a unique letter would be required only if you had two  
or more citations in your article that would otherwise look the same  
when using the author-date style.


In other words, a cite-key is one thing, a formatted citation is  
something else.


Cheers,
Christian

You can change the year in the entry to 2000a and 2000b otherwise there is no
way to tell which on you meant anyway.

Another option is to use numeric references ([2],[3] etc) instead of author
year (depends on the target audience if this is relevant). You can also add
some more description in the text.

Springer Style in Lyx

[bluegreengrassnow bluegreengrassnow]

I'm trying to use lyx to write a document in springer lecture notes style. I 
created the following layout file, however it doesn't create output documents 
in the correct style:

#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[svjour3]{article (svjour3)}
# Input general definitions
Input stdclass.inc


The svglov3.clo and svjour3.cls files provided by springer are installed in 
tex\latex\sv-journ3.  Springer also provides a template latex file that renders 
correctly in TeXnicCenter but not in Lyx when imported.

Can someone help with this?

LyX includes a layout file for LNCS.

Why do you not just use the LyX-provided documentclass

So LyX "sees" the unicode characters (Gnome/X11 does the key-combo ->
character conversion and LyX does not "know" which key was pressed to get
the char):

-> To bind other functions (like math-insert ...) to these key-combos,
   you must know the "QT-specification" of the given unicode char.

Example: For a German keyboard, I have in my personal gm.bind:

\bind "M-a S-equal" "layout Part*"  # M-a S-0
\bind "M-a S-exclam""layout Chapter*"   # M-a S-1
\bind "M-a S-§" "layout Subsection*"# M-a S-3 qt
\bind "M-a S-section"   "layout Subsection*"# M-a S-3 xforms

* Some characters (=,!.#) have names (§), others are given literally
  (in QT)

* you will need to specify the Shift modifier. You can use the "~S" notation
  for "optionally with Shift" (this reverses the precedence when the
  same key-combo is bound again later).

> (and, apparently, it has − but only in 1.6). 

Binding a function to the characters (like µ -> math-insert \mu) should
be possible in 1.5 also. In LyX 1.6 you will not need to do this
because LyX should accept and work with unicode characters in math, so
that you can drag-and-drop your friends email with

> "Let x∈P and y∈Q. Since P and Q are normal, xyx^-1y^-1∈P∩Q={e}... ⇒

and LyX will produce a valid LaTeX source (keeping the characters as
unicode chars in the *.lyx file).

> I thought of moving to 1.6 (but still hesitating), unless you have a
> better solution!

You could consider home-compiling 1.6 configuring it to use a 16 prefix
(the binary and the used LYXDIR will be called lyx16 instead of lyx so
you can use it alongside LyX 1.5).
