LyX can’t find sprachwerker.bst
Hi everyone,
I am trying to set up sprachwerker.bst for use in LyX, so I can use Natbib
and a German bibliography style for linguistics (other than dinat and more
Harvard-like). I installed it in
~/Library/texmf/bibtex/bst
run sudo texhash and yes, kpsewhich sprachwerker.bst tells me, that it is
exactly there. However, in LyX I cannot find it at all (although I ran
Reconfigure several times). I tried to display the bibliography via ERT,
manually choosing \bibliographystle{sprachwerker} and so on but it still
does not work. I updated both MacTeX from 2007 to 2008 and LyX from 1.5.4 to
1.6.0 (all on latest Tiger/PPC) but the problem still exists. However,
exporting to LaTeX and compiling through TeXShop works. I even restarted my
computer and reconfigured LyX several times but the style still does not
show up in LyX.
What more can I do? Thank you in advance for any help,
Max

Re: Toggle Toolbars off?
Ivan Werning wrote: When I type a math the math toolbar and math-panel toolbar automatically toggles at the bottom of the screen. (Mac OS X 10.5.5 with Lyx 1.6) This is a nice idea, but sometimes has some problems. For example, if I was typing at the bottom of the screen, then I may get the stuff I'm writing covered up by the toolbar! After hitting a key the screen will move, but it isn't ideal to be left blinded for a moment. Anyway, since I barely need it, for this and other reasons I'd rather have it turned off by default and then opt in at will. But I couldn't figure out how to do this. So how can I get the toggled math and math-panel toolbars to be off? This is IMHO rather unintuitive behavior, but if you put the cursor in a math inset and then go to View - Toolbars and click a math toolbar, it toggles between auto and always off. If you do this _outside_ a math inset, it toggles between auto and always on. The menu entry does not change (other than presence/absence of the check mark) -- it always says 'auto'. I miss the old behavior. /Paul

[correction] LyXWinInstaller for LyX 1.6.0
Hello LyXers, I uploaded version 4.15 of the LyXWinInstaller that fixes two bugs: - add missing Python file to be able to import CSV-files to LyX - fix bug that PDF and EPS images weren't show in LyX In case you are affected by these bugs, you have to reinstall LyX using this new installer version. The installer can be downloaded from: https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117release_id=15475 and soon also from ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.6.0 (under the name AltInstaller) (More infos about the installer can be found here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller ) sorry for the inconvenience and regards Uwe

Check Document - Settings - Text Layout and make sure that the

If so, LyX shouldn't decide to add twocolumn.

I built some lyx160 packages for Ubuntu 8.10 you can install alongside lyx-1.5.6
Hey, Ubuntu running lyx guys: I saw in the lyx list that it is possible to build lyx-1.6.0 from source so that it will be installed without damaging lyx-1.5.6. I wanted to try the newest lyx, but need to make sure the old faithful lyx-1.5.6 is available. The configure option that builds a parallel version --with-version-suffix=-1.6.0. I wanted that same function, but in a deb package so I could easily uninstall later. I took the upstream Debian source code for the lyx-1.6.0 packages and hacked the build scripts so that the new lyx is built with a suffix -1.6.0, so you run it by typing lyx-1.6.0. I'm an RPM packager by nature, the Debian thing is still kinda new to me and I still stuggle a bit.Eventually I made it work. (I've pasted the list of installed files shown below. You can see it really is separate from the old verison.) I've not yet learned how to setup an apt archive, but you can just download the deb packages and install with dpkg. Unlike RPM based systems, the Debian package system will not allow installation of 2 packages called lyx, so this new one is named lyx160 and it depends on lyx160-common. As far as I can tell, this does no damage at all to the Ubuntu provided packages lyx and lyx-common. I've not yet learned how to setup an apt archive, but you can just download the deb packages and install with dpkg. http://pj.freefaculty.org/Ubuntu/8.10/i386/lyx160-common_1.6.0-2ubuntu_all.deb http://pj.freefaculty.org/Ubuntu/8.10/i386/lyx160_1.6.0-2ubuntu_i386.deb Here's my PGP key in case you are *that kind* of person (security conscious). http://pj.freefaculty.org/Ubuntu/PaulJohnson-BinaryPackageSigningKey pj When the user runs lyx-1.6.0, it creates a configuration directory ~/.lyx-1.6.0, so settings and such are kept completely separate from the existing settings for lyx-1.5.6 that are kept in ~/.lyx. Here are the installed files. Note the -1.6.0 suffix added to executables and directory names. This installed version does work for me. $ dpkg -L lyx160 /. /usr /usr/bin /usr/bin/lyxclient-1.6.0 /usr/bin/tex2lyx-1.6.0 /usr/bin/lyx-1.6.0 /usr/share /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc/lyx160 /usr/share/doc/lyx160/NEWS.Debian.gz /usr/share/doc/lyx160/changelog.Debian.gz /usr/share/doc/lyx160/copyright /usr/share/man /usr/share/man/man1 /usr/share/man/man1/lyxclient-1.6.0.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/tex2lyx-1.6.0.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/lyx-1.6.0.1.gz $ dpkg -L lyx160-common | more /usr /usr/share /usr/share/texmf /usr/share/texmf/tex /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/lyx-1.6.0 /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/lyx-1.6.0/revtex.cls /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/lyx-1.6.0/lyxskak.sty /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/lyx-1.6.0/broadway.cls /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/lyx-1.6.0/hollywood.cls /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/lyx-1.6.0/lyxchess.sty /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0 /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/math.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/greekkeys.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/cyrkeys.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/pt /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/pt/menus.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/hollywood.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/site.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/sv /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/sv/menus.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/de /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/de/menus.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/xemacs.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/latinkeys.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/menus.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/fi /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/fi/menus.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/mac.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/emacs.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/cua.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/broadway.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/aqua.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/sciword.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/chkconfig.ltx /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/commands /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/commands/default.def /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/configure.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/lyxpreview_tools.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/clean_dvi.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/fig_copy.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/ext_copy.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/fig2pdftex.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/lyxpreview-platex2bitmap.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/listerrors /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/fig2pstex.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/date.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/csv2lyx.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/TeXFiles.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/lyxpreview2bitmap.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/tex_copy.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/fen2ascii.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/convertDefault.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/legacy_lyxpreview2ppm.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/layout2layout.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/ui /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/ui/classic.ui /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/ui/stdcontext.inc /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/ui/default.ui /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/ui/stdtoolbars.inc /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/ui/stdmenus.inc /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/external_templates /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/templates /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/templates/de_beamer-conference-ornate-20min.lyx /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/templates/slides.lyx
view pdf error: the file doesn't exist - what to do?
Moin Lyxers,
not for the first time I got today an LyX when clicking show pdf an
error message:
Die Datei existiert nicht:
(I suppose in english: The file doesn't exist:)
/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.L12205/lyx_tmpbuf1/Lyra-Pracher-odt-teil.pdf
That was after adding an TeX code for another footnoteB (from the -
loaded - manyfoot package), because I'm using for that the handout
(tufte) layout because of the many sidenotes I need.
But because - at a certain point, when LaTeX (via LyX) said too many
floats - I changed to the TeX-box \footnoteB command to get a real
footnote. Which normally gives the planned result.
If the error message The file doesn't exist ... .pdf is a known
problem, I ask:
== how to come out of this situation best?
I found out by trial and error, that I deleted the last TeX inset
\footnoteB{...}, (but after many other trials, even after clothing
and reopening LyX, after deleting the LyX - /tmp ... xyz-files and so
on).
Regained functionality of LyX in making and showing a pdf result, I
reintroduced the TeX-inset \footnoteB and it worked.
Fine for the project. But Question:
= are there reasons for that behaviour of LyX and/or other ways than
just trying out, deleting the last inset(s) and remaking them?
== What might be the reason of the LaTeX-error about too many
flouts when inserting footnotes = sidenotes in the handout
(tufte) class, even if on the page where I am working and on the
horizontal space on the margin there is place enough for another
footnote=sidenote?

The easiest thing to do may be to just copy cua.bind from /usr to your local lyx bind directory, rename it to mycua or something, Actually, there is no need to rename (other than clarity), as LyX will try the version in your personal LyXDir first. get rid of the C-g y in there, and include that in hebrew instead of cua.

Re: Toggle Toolbars off?
Ivan Werning wrote: When I type a math the math toolbar and math-panel toolbar automatically toggles at the bottom of the screen. (Mac OS X 10.5.5 with Lyx 1.6) This is a nice idea, but sometimes has some problems. For example, if I was typing at the bottom of the screen, then I may get the stuff I'm writing covered up by the toolbar! After hitting a key the screen will move, but it isn't ideal to be left blinded for a moment. Anyway, since I barely need it, for this and other reasons I'd rather have it turned off by default and then opt in at will. But I couldn't figure out how to do this. So how can I get the toggled math and math-panel toolbars to be off? This is IMHO rather unintuitive behavior, but if you put the cursor in a math inset and then go to View - Toolbars and click a math toolbar, it toggles between auto and always off. If you do this _outside_ a math inset, it toggles between auto and always on. The menu entry does not change (other than presence/absence of the check mark) -- it always says 'auto'. I miss the old behavior. /Paul

[correction] LyXWinInstaller for LyX 1.6.0
Hello LyXers, I uploaded version 4.15 of the LyXWinInstaller that fixes two bugs: - add missing Python file to be able to import CSV-files to LyX - fix bug that PDF and EPS images weren't show in LyX In case you are affected by these bugs, you have to reinstall LyX using this new installer version. The installer can be downloaded from: https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117release_id=15475 and soon also from ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.6.0 (under the name AltInstaller) (More infos about the installer can be found here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller ) sorry for the inconvenience and regards Uwe

I built some lyx160 packages for Ubuntu 8.10 you can install alongside lyx-1.5.6
Hey, Ubuntu running lyx guys: I saw in the lyx list that it is possible to build lyx-1.6.0 from source so that it will be installed without damaging lyx-1.5.6. I wanted to try the newest lyx, but need to make sure the old faithful lyx-1.5.6 is available. The configure option that builds a parallel version --with-version-suffix=-1.6.0. I wanted that same function, but in a deb package so I could easily uninstall later. I took the upstream Debian source code for the lyx-1.6.0 packages and hacked the build scripts so that the new lyx is built with a suffix -1.6.0, so you run it by typing lyx-1.6.0. I'm an RPM packager by nature, the Debian thing is still kinda new to me and I still stuggle a bit.Eventually I made it work. (I've pasted the list of installed files shown below. You can see it really is separate from the old verison.) I've not yet learned how to setup an apt archive, but you can just download the deb packages and install with dpkg. Unlike RPM based systems, the Debian package system will not allow installation of 2 packages called lyx, so this new one is named lyx160 and it depends on lyx160-common. As far as I can tell, this does no damage at all to the Ubuntu provided packages lyx and lyx-common. I've not yet learned how to setup an apt archive, but you can just download the deb packages and install with dpkg. http://pj.freefaculty.org/Ubuntu/8.10/i386/lyx160-common_1.6.0-2ubuntu_all.deb http://pj.freefaculty.org/Ubuntu/8.10/i386/lyx160_1.6.0-2ubuntu_i386.deb Here's my PGP key in case you are *that kind* of person (security conscious). http://pj.freefaculty.org/Ubuntu/PaulJohnson-BinaryPackageSigningKey pj When the user runs lyx-1.6.0, it creates a configuration directory ~/.lyx-1.6.0, so settings and such are kept completely separate from the existing settings for lyx-1.5.6 that are kept in ~/.lyx.

view pdf error: the file doesn't exist - what to do?
Moin Lyxers,
not for the first time I got today an LyX when clicking show pdf an
error message:
Die Datei existiert nicht:
(I suppose in english: The file doesn't exist:)
/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.L12205/lyx_tmpbuf1/Lyra-Pracher-odt-teil.pdf
That was after adding an TeX code for another footnoteB (from the -
loaded - manyfoot package), because I'm using for that the handout
(tufte) layout because of the many sidenotes I need.
But because - at a certain point, when LaTeX (via LyX) said too many
floats - I changed to the TeX-box \footnoteB command to get a real
footnote. Which normally gives the planned result.
If the error message The file doesn't exist ... .pdf is a known
problem, I ask:
== how to come out of this situation best?
I found out by trial and error, that I deleted the last TeX inset
\footnoteB{...}, (but after many other trials, even after clothing
and reopening LyX, after deleting the LyX - /tmp ... xyz-files and so
on).
Regained functionality of LyX in making and showing a pdf result, I
reintroduced the TeX-inset \footnoteB and it worked.
Fine for the project. But Question:
= are there reasons for that behaviour of LyX and/or other ways than
just trying out, deleting the last inset(s) and remaking them?
== What might be the reason of the LaTeX-error about too many
flouts when inserting footnotes = sidenotes in the handout
(tufte) class, even if on the page where I am working and on the
horizontal space on the margin there is place enough for another
footnote=sidenote?

The easiest thing to do may be to just copy cua.bind from /usr to your local lyx bind directory, rename it to mycua or something, Actually, there is no need to rename (other than clarity), as LyX will try the version in your personal LyXDir first. get rid of the C-g y in there, and include that in hebrew instead of cua. It will not matter where the new bindings are included as long as the original binding is commented out: - \bind C-g error-next + # \bind C-g error-next Günter

Here is what I did: 1. removed the lyx ubuntu package 1.5.6 from my system (wajig remove lyx) 2. installed the same package again (wajig install lyx) - I did want to test with the old version to see if the slowness also occurs there. 3. I started lyx 1.5.6 everything worked fine & the positive suprise was, when I started lyx 1.6.0 the so much appreciated responsiveness of lyx is back.

LyX can’t find sprachwerker.bst
Hi everyone,
I am trying to set up sprachwerker.bst for use in LyX, so I can use Natbib
and a German bibliography style for linguistics (other than dinat and more
Harvard-like). I installed it in
~/Library/texmf/bibtex/bst
run sudo texhash and yes, kpsewhich sprachwerker.bst tells me, that it is
exactly there. However, in LyX I cannot find it at all (although I ran
Reconfigure several times). I tried to display the bibliography via ERT,
manually choosing \bibliographystle{sprachwerker} and so on but it still
does not work. I updated both MacTeX from 2007 to 2008 and LyX from 1.5.4 to
1.6.0 (all on latest Tiger/PPC) but the problem still exists. However,
exporting to LaTeX and compiling through TeXShop works. I even restarted my
computer and reconfigured LyX several times but the style still does not
show up in LyX.
What more can I do? Thank you in advance for any help,
Max

I've not yet learned how to setup an apt archive, but you can just download the deb packages and install with dpkg. http://pj.freefaculty.org/Ubuntu/8.10/i386/lyx160-common_1.6.0-2ubuntu_all.deb http://pj.freefaculty.org/Ubuntu/8.10/i386/lyx160_1.6.0-2ubuntu_i386.deb Here's my PGP key in case you are *that kind* of person (security conscious). http://pj.freefaculty.org/Ubuntu/PaulJohnson-BinaryPackageSigningKey pj When the user runs lyx-1.6.0, it creates a configuration directory ~/.lyx-1.6.0, so settings and such are kept completely separate from the existing settings for lyx-1.5.6 that are kept in ~/.lyx. Here are the installed files. Note the -1.6.0 suffix added to executables and directory names. This installed version does work for me. $ dpkg -L lyx160 /. /usr /usr/bin /usr/bin/lyxclient-1.6.0 /usr/bin/tex2lyx-1.6.0 /usr/bin/lyx-1.6.0 /usr/share /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc/lyx160 /usr/share/doc/lyx160/NEWS.Debian.gz /usr/share/doc/lyx160/changelog.Debian.gz /usr/share/doc/lyx160/copyright /usr/share/man /usr/share/man/man1 /usr/share/man/man1/lyxclient-1.6.0.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/tex2lyx-1.6.0.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/lyx-1.6.0.1.gz $ dpkg -L lyx160-common | more /usr /usr/share /usr/share/texmf /usr/share/texmf/tex /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/lyx-1.6.0 /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/lyx-1.6.0/revtex.cls /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/lyx-1.6.0/lyxskak.sty /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/lyx-1.6.0/broadway.cls /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/lyx-1.6.0/hollywood.cls /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/lyx-1.6.0/lyxchess.sty /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0 /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/math.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/greekkeys.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/cyrkeys.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/pt /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/pt/menus.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/hollywood.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/site.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/sv /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/sv/menus.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/de /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/de/menus.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/xemacs.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/latinkeys.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/menus.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/fi /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/fi/menus.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/mac.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/emacs.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/cua.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/broadway.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/aqua.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/bind/sciword.bind /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/chkconfig.ltx /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/commands /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/commands/default.def /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/configure.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/lyxpreview_tools.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/clean_dvi.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/fig_copy.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/ext_copy.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/fig2pdftex.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/lyxpreview-platex2bitmap.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/listerrors /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/fig2pstex.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/date.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/csv2lyx.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/TeXFiles.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/lyxpreview2bitmap.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/tex_copy.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/fen2ascii.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/convertDefault.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/legacy_lyxpreview2ppm.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/scripts/layout2layout.py /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/ui /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/ui/classic.ui /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/ui/stdcontext.inc /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/ui/default.ui /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/ui/stdtoolbars.inc /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/ui/stdmenus.inc /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/external_templates /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/templates /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/templates/de_beamer-conference-ornate-20min.lyx /usr/share/lyx-1.6.0/templates/slides.lyx
"view pdf" error: "the file doesn't exist" - what to do?
Moin Lyxers,
not for the first time I got today an LyX when clicking "show pdf" an
error message:
Die Datei existiert nicht:
(I suppose in english: The file doesn't exist:)
/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.L12205/lyx_tmpbuf1/Lyra-Pracher-odt-teil.pdf
That was after adding an TeX code for another "footnoteB" (from the -
loaded - manyfoot package), because I'm using for that the "handout
(tufte)" layout because of the many sidenotes I need.
But because - at a certain point, when LaTeX (via LyX) said "too many
floats" - I changed to the TeX-box \footnoteB command to get a real
footnote. Which normally gives the planned result.
If the error message "The file doesn't exist ... .pdf" is a known
problem, I ask:
==> how to come out of this situation best?
I found out by trial and error, that I deleted the last TeX inset
\footnoteB{...}, (but after many other trials, even after clothing
and reopening LyX, after deleting the LyX - /tmp ... xyz-files and so
on).
Regained functionality of LyX in making and showing a pdf result, I
reintroduced the TeX-inset \footnoteB and it worked.
Fine for the project. But Question:
=> are there reasons for that behaviour of LyX and/or other ways than
just trying out, deleting the last inset(s) and remaking them?
==> What might be the reason of the LaTeX-error about "too many
flouts" when inserting "footnotes" = sidenotes in the "handout
(tufte)" class, even if on the page where I am working and on the
horizontal space on the margin there is place enough for another
"footnote"=sidenote?
Goutgaun! joachim

So next time you want press tab on the same prefix, you get the same completion again. Regards, Stefan Yes, that would be perfect. Having a ranking of autocompletions accepted with this rule would be nice and I think it would solve it. As a simple example of the problems no:if one attempts to type the sequence (within math): \sum \beta \sum \beta \sum ... auto-completion does not help very much. The problem is it will forget what you wanted to complete \su with after completing typing \beta(\beta, then \sagitarius, then \subarray are given priority to \sum) and viceversa. This case would be fixed with the suggested rule. I really value having the autocompletion feature in LyX. I hope it can get an improved memory! -Ivan
Re: Key bindings
Thank you very much.
I think I will try to install LyX 1.6 some day here on my old ubuntu,
but it won't be in the next weeks, probably (for the solution of the
bindings of Ω, ψ, etc...). The bindings of the C-g y works well now.

Cross-reference
In the embedded object help document, there are description of 6 different cross-reference variations. The last one is "Formatted reference: prints a self defined cross-reference format. " The questions are, how and where does LyX define the format? How do I define a different format? Thanks. Max

LyX uses the prettyref package to do this. The default definitions are in the preamble, which you can see using View>Source. You can add your own to the user preamble. rh
