Unable to set shortcuts in LyX 1.6.1

[Grant Jacobs]

I am trying understand how to set a keyboard shortcut to font-ita in 
LyX 1.6.1, but it just doesn't seem to work for me.


I go to Preferences  Fonts, Layouts and Textclasses then select 
'font-ital', then press 'Modify'. I enter my shortcut (alt-cmd-I), 
then press 'OK'.


LyX then showed that I how had *two* entries for font-ital, the 
original with no shortcut and a new one below it with my shortcut. 
(This is a bit confusing, as I asked it to *Modify* the entry, not 
create a new duplicate.) I note there is a feature whereby a user 
can 'Remove' actions with shortcuts assigned to them, but not those 
without shortcuts assigned to them. None of the actions with 
shortcuts assigned to them have a duplicate with no shortcut, only 
the new one I have added/modified.


In any event, now back in my text, I select some text and press 
alt-cmd-I and nothing happens.


I have tried quite a number of different shortcuts and the outcomes 
is always the same: no action is taken on applying the shortcut to 
selected text.


I would appreciate it if anyone can advise me what the problem is.

I am aware that there is a type called emphasis, but to me that 
reads as what the system decides at some later time to represent 
emphasis. I want italics, and *only* italics. Emphasis could in 
principle be any number of a range of things, e.g. small caps, 
boldface, an alternative font type, etc. (For example, names of 
animal species must be in italics, not some arbitrary emphasis type 
of the writer's choice.)


I have tried creating new shortcuts from scratch (using 'New' rather 
than 'Modify') but this doesn't provide a work-around: still no 
activity.


I've also tried using it in different Spaces, but that doesn't seem 
to be the issue.


Furthermore, LyX crashed on me (ironically while trying to save a 
file on quitting). One unexpected thing here was that it asked me to 
save the file, claiming the backup was newer, but I hadn't touched 
the file in quite some time, so the automatic save should have meant 
that both the backup and current file had the same date/time. Anyway, 
in doing so it forgot what windows I had open.

Problem with enviroment followed by figures

[Kyri]

Hi,

I'm new in LyX. I'm using v.1.6.1 and I'm trying to create my dissertation's
first page. The problem is that I want to add the university stamp figure,
and below that I want to write the author, date etc.

The problem is that from the point that I add the figure and afterwards, the
Author and Date texts are getting messed up. They are not centered any more,
and I'm not allowed to change their properties from the Paragraph Settings
button.

Thanks

This is a standard problem with frontmatter. Solutions proposed on
this list were: creation of graphics for first page (put in as an
image or glue by pdftk) or try some LaTeX code.
I have an package modified from someone else package, which is tuned
for my university. Other solution lies somewhere between these two.

 Dear Users,

 I had to change to a Linux machine (Fedora 10). When I read a document,
 made in Windows-Lyx,  into the Lyx in Fedora, everything is allright,
 except the (numerous) eps figures. Their sizes are appropriate
 (correspond to those in Windows-Lyx), but the figures themselves cannot
 be seen within their bounding boxes. When I cancel the Clip to bounding
 box condition, the figures can be seen in their original A/4
 environment. What happens here? Could you suggest a Lyx setup which
 preserves the eps figures in Fedora 10-Lyx? Or could you suggest another
 Linux distro with a problem-free Lyx installation?

I expect this to be a problem more general than just Fedora. The package in 
Fedora is quite vanilla (only small localized changes).

Could you please provide us with a single (and simple as possible) example 
where this occurs? If you prefer you can send me the example by private email.

Without further details it is very difficult to see what could it be the 
problem.

Regards,

 With many thanks

Bibliography headers and TOC

[Pablo]

Hi all!
I'm using Lyx 1.6.0 to write my master thesis. It's all fine, except two
points for which I dont' find solutions neither in the archives nor other
forums.

1- Bibliography header. I'm using document class BOOK and fancy headers.
Bilbiografy appears capitalized and both in upper-left and upper-right
corners, which is annoying for me. I would like to have it not capitalized
and just in one corner.

2- Bibliography and TOC. Ok, just marking the option in the Bibtex Generated
Bibliography, it does the correct TOC, but when using the generated PDF and
clicking there in toc, the hyperlink brings me to the chapter before.

Thanks in advance

Pablo

Re: Question on whitespace at the end of raw TeX - inserts

[Helge Hafting]

Dieter Jurzitza wrote:

Hi folks,
first of all: thank you for all your replies. And yes, after hearing what you 
came up with I think ERT should remain ERT and inserting an automatic blank 
_within_ the ERT is not a good idea.


But wait: what is LyX saying about itself, WYSIWYM? Hey, if I put a whitespace 
after the end of an ERT you tell me we see it but we won't protect it because 
you put it there but because you've been working with an ERT before we are 
sure you did not mean to see a whitespace there ... 

sorry. This is nothing related to other text processing systems. This is 
related to I would expect to see what I mean.


I understand what you mean, but what you see is what you mean can also
be understood as this ERT stuff doing funny things to the text that 
follows it is what I mean...


There are various latex constructs that do things to the _next_
character - or even removes it. The next character might be the space 
following the ERT box.


When an ERT box end in a latex command, I add {} to avoid surprises. 
This is easy enough to do, and {} won't usually hurt when it isn't 
necessary.  Still, it can't be done automatically, in case you have

something odd in that ERT.

I don't think this can be solved, but if it could, I'd rather spend
the effort on supporting more packages so that ERT won't be necessary.
LyX without ERT should be easy to use and understand.

There is one very basic question I am rising here for discussion: is the 
target beauty or understandability? I think all of you spend hours and hours 
(I _really_ appreciate, don't get me wrong) in making LyX to what it is: 
highly usuable, extremely configurable and with a very nice user interface. 

However, I think all we are TeXnicians to some extent, aren't we? And that's 
the measure LyX will be checked against: the native user not being that 
familiar with TeX.


According to my understanding he should be protected against the oddities of 
TeX by the help of LyX. Well, I hear you say, the native user will not use 
TeX inserts - maybe - but he might do so. And that's were my point starts. I 
would say that if someone puts whitespace after an ERT, why would he do this? 
I'd say he does this because he want's it to be there.



Usually, yes. Your case is the normal one. But there are other cases,
and auto-adding anything will make the unusual cases impossible. And the 
whole point of ERT is to support unusual stuff. Anything normal ought to 
be supported without ERT - someday.

Or, use ERT and custom environments for the entire frontmatter instead of 
trying to shoehorn your document class into doing the job. I use ERT and 
custom environments. I don't even use the Author and Title environments. It 
works wonderfully.

My justification for this is that environments are meant to promote 
consistency throughout your document, but there's very little consistency in 
frontmatter -- it's all one-off type of stuff.

 LyX's ViewSource menu topic is your friend here. It shows the LaTeX

 you check that button).

 I still don´t see how this leads me to a proper latex-code. 

It cannot ensure proper latex-code but help to find an answer to the

A lot of my friends have been asking me to install Lyx for them,

text selection using mouse

[Iain Mac Donald]

If I select text using the cursor keys everything works as expected. If
I use the mouse the selection de-selects itself after a fraction of a
second - long before you can do anything with it. All other mouse
actions work normally.

I only have a few Qt based apps but it is only LyX that exhibits
this behaviour. I am using LyX 1.5.5 on Debian Lenny with XFCE.

Ideas anyone?

Regards,
Iain.

Thanks Jürgen you got it!

Clipman and LyX are not playing nice together. Clipman supports
grabbing selections. If I select the Clipman option Ignore selections
then the mouse selection of text in LyX works fine. The downside is
that enabling selections is exactly the reason I use Clipman as it is
an easy way to copy stuff between xterms and GUI apps.

(coco) Aspell and Lyx - how to add a Personal Dictionary file?

[Dr . Joachim K . Rennstich]

I am successfully working with Lyx 1.6.1 and my installation of coco- 
Aspell on my Mac with OS X 10.5.6. I have not been able to get the  
spelling checker to ever learn a word. Under Preferences  Language  
Settings  Spellchecker I have an option to add a Personal Dictionary  
Other than the default - since this default doesn't seem to work,  
how can manually add personal dictionary? What kind of file do I need  
to create that will show in the dialog box as a selectable file? A  
simple .txt file (e.g., personaldict.txt) won't work.


Any suggestions would be most welcome - thanks in advance!

I'm a little confused. To start the appendix you Document-Start

Section' not '3 Section'.

Re: Question on whitespace at the end of raw TeX - inserts

[Dieter Jurzitza]

Dear Helge,
thank you for your reply. There were several of them - and I came to the end 
that I - to some extend - took it too simple. My personal wrap up is the fact 
that the current TeX-inserts in LyX are not encapsulated - i. e. they reach 
further than the closing insert bracket.

So, maybe there would be an option to define encapsulated and non encapsulated 
TeX-inserts. But even this increases the complexity as you'd have to cope 
with two different insert styles.

Therefore I - sort of accepted, though missing an option to explain why things 
are as they are.

Take care





Dieter

Tabbed Documents in Lyx for Mac

Yes, this will change the default behavior of LyX. However, if you
don't want to change that setting, you can simply have the focus in
the window you want, and choose View  [filename] to select the
document you want to have in a tab of that window, while leaving open

You don't need to create the file first.

What I gave you works for me and fits the cocoAspell FAQ. There is a
webpage 
(http://jann.is/daily/archives/822-Location-of-the-personal-dictionary-aspellcocoAspell.html)

Unable to set shortcuts in LyX 1.6.1

[Grant Jacobs]

I am trying understand how to set a keyboard shortcut to font-ita in 
LyX 1.6.1, but it just doesn't seem to work for me.


I go to Preferences  Fonts, Layouts and Textclasses then select 
'font-ital', then press 'Modify'. I enter my shortcut (alt-cmd-I), 
then press 'OK'.


LyX then showed that I how had *two* entries for font-ital, the 
original with no shortcut and a new one below it with my shortcut. 
(This is a bit confusing, as I asked it to *Modify* the entry, not 
create a new duplicate.) I note there is a feature whereby a user 
can 'Remove' actions with shortcuts assigned to them, but not those 
without shortcuts assigned to them. None of the actions with 
shortcuts assigned to them have a duplicate with no shortcut, only 
the new one I have added/modified.


In any event, now back in my text, I select some text and press 
alt-cmd-I and nothing happens.


I have tried quite a number of different shortcuts and the outcomes 
is always the same: no action is taken on applying the shortcut to 
selected text.


I would appreciate it if anyone can advise me what the problem is.

I am aware that there is a type called emphasis, but to me that 
reads as what the system decides at some later time to represent 
emphasis. I want italics, and *only* italics. Emphasis could in 
principle be any number of a range of things, e.g. small caps, 
boldface, an alternative font type, etc. (For example, names of 
animal species must be in italics, not some arbitrary emphasis type 
of the writer's choice.)


I have tried creating new shortcuts from scratch (using 'New' rather 
than 'Modify') but this doesn't provide a work-around: still no 
activity.


I've also tried using it in different Spaces, but that doesn't seem 
to be the issue.


Furthermore, LyX crashed on me (ironically while trying to save a 
file on quitting). One unexpected thing here was that it asked me to 
save the file, claiming the backup was newer, but I hadn't touched 
the file in quite some time, so the automatic save should have meant 
that both the backup and current file had the same date/time. Anyway, 
in doing so it forgot what windows I had open.

Problem with enviroment followed by figures

[Kyri]

Hi,

I'm new in LyX. I'm using v.1.6.1 and I'm trying to create my dissertation's
first page. The problem is that I want to add the university stamp figure,
and below that I want to write the author, date etc.

The problem is that from the point that I add the figure and afterwards, the
Author and Date texts are getting messed up. They are not centered any more,
and I'm not allowed to change their properties from the Paragraph Settings
button.

Thanks

 Dear Users,

 I had to change to a Linux machine (Fedora 10). When I read a document,
 made in Windows-Lyx,  into the Lyx in Fedora, everything is allright,
 except the (numerous) eps figures. Their sizes are appropriate
 (correspond to those in Windows-Lyx), but the figures themselves cannot
 be seen within their bounding boxes. When I cancel the Clip to bounding
 box condition, the figures can be seen in their original A/4
 environment. What happens here? Could you suggest a Lyx setup which
 preserves the eps figures in Fedora 10-Lyx? Or could you suggest another
 Linux distro with a problem-free Lyx installation?

I expect this to be a problem more general than just Fedora. The package in 
Fedora is quite vanilla (only small localized changes).

Could you please provide us with a single (and simple as possible) example 
where this occurs? If you prefer you can send me the example by private email.

Without further details it is very difficult to see what could it be the 
problem.

Bibliography headers and TOC

[Pablo]

Hi all!
I'm using Lyx 1.6.0 to write my master thesis. It's all fine, except two
points for which I dont' find solutions neither in the archives nor other
forums.

1- Bibliography header. I'm using document class BOOK and fancy headers.
Bilbiografy appears capitalized and both in upper-left and upper-right
corners, which is annoying for me. I would like to have it not capitalized
and just in one corner.

2- Bibliography and TOC. Ok, just marking the option in the Bibtex Generated
Bibliography, it does the correct TOC, but when using the generated PDF and
clicking there in toc, the hyperlink brings me to the chapter before.

Thanks in advance

Re: Question on whitespace at the end of raw TeX - inserts

[Helge Hafting]

Dieter Jurzitza wrote:

Hi folks,
first of all: thank you for all your replies. And yes, after hearing what you 
came up with I think ERT should remain ERT and inserting an automatic blank 
_within_ the ERT is not a good idea.


But wait: what is LyX saying about itself, WYSIWYM? Hey, if I put a whitespace 
after the end of an ERT you tell me we see it but we won't protect it because 
you put it there but because you've been working with an ERT before we are 
sure you did not mean to see a whitespace there ... 

sorry. This is nothing related to other text processing systems. This is 
related to I would expect to see what I mean.


I understand what you mean, but what you see is what you mean can also
be understood as this ERT stuff doing funny things to the text that 
follows it is what I mean...


There are various latex constructs that do things to the _next_
character - or even removes it. The next character might be the space 
following the ERT box.


When an ERT box end in a latex command, I add {} to avoid surprises. 
This is easy enough to do, and {} won't usually hurt when it isn't 
necessary.  Still, it can't be done automatically, in case you have

something odd in that ERT.

I don't think this can be solved, but if it could, I'd rather spend
the effort on supporting more packages so that ERT won't be necessary.
LyX without ERT should be easy to use and understand.

There is one very basic question I am rising here for discussion: is the 
target beauty or understandability? I think all of you spend hours and hours 
(I _really_ appreciate, don't get me wrong) in making LyX to what it is: 
highly usuable, extremely configurable and with a very nice user interface. 

However, I think all we are TeXnicians to some extent, aren't we? And that's 
the measure LyX will be checked against: the native user not being that 
familiar with TeX.


According to my understanding he should be protected against the oddities of 
TeX by the help of LyX. Well, I hear you say, the native user will not use 
TeX inserts - maybe - but he might do so. And that's were my point starts. I 
would say that if someone puts whitespace after an ERT, why would he do this? 
I'd say he does this because he want's it to be there.



Usually, yes. Your case is the normal one. But there are other cases,
and auto-adding anything will make the unusual cases impossible. And the 
whole point of ERT is to support unusual stuff. Anything normal ought to 
be supported without ERT - someday.

Or, use ERT and custom environments for the entire frontmatter instead of 
trying to shoehorn your document class into doing the job. I use ERT and 
custom environments. I don't even use the Author and Title environments. It 
works wonderfully.

My justification for this is that environments are meant to promote 
consistency throughout your document, but there's very little consistency in 
frontmatter -- it's all one-off type of stuff.

 LyX's ViewSource menu topic is your friend here. It shows the LaTeX

 I still don´t see how this leads me to a proper latex-code. 

It cannot ensure proper latex-code but help to find an answer to the

text selection using mouse

[Iain Mac Donald]

If I select text using the cursor keys everything works as expected. If
I use the mouse the selection de-selects itself after a fraction of a
second - long before you can do anything with it. All other mouse
actions work normally.

I only have a few Qt based apps but it is only LyX that exhibits
this behaviour. I am using LyX 1.5.5 on Debian Lenny with XFCE.

Ideas anyone?

Iain.

Thanks Jürgen you got it!

Clipman and LyX are not playing nice together. Clipman supports
grabbing selections. If I select the Clipman option Ignore selections
then the mouse selection of text in LyX works fine. The downside is
that enabling selections is exactly the reason I use Clipman as it is
an easy way to copy stuff between xterms and GUI apps.

(coco) Aspell and Lyx - how to add a Personal Dictionary file?

how can manually add personal dictionary? What kind of file do I need

Re: Question on whitespace at the end of raw TeX - inserts

[Dieter Jurzitza]

Dear Helge,
thank you for your reply. There were several of them - and I came to the end 
that I - to some extend - took it too simple. My personal wrap up is the fact 
that the current TeX-inserts in LyX are not encapsulated - i. e. they reach 
further than the closing insert bracket.

So, maybe there would be an option to define encapsulated and non encapsulated 
TeX-inserts. But even this increases the complexity as you'd have to cope 
with two different insert styles.

Therefore I - sort of accepted, though missing an option to explain why things 
are as they are.

Take care





Dieter

Yes, this will change the default behavior of LyX. However, if you
don't want to change that setting, you can simply have the focus in
the window you want, and choose View  [filename] to select the
document you want to have in a tab of that window, while leaving open
any other windows in which that document appears. (Right clicking on

You don't need to create the file first.

What I gave you works for me and fits the cocoAspell FAQ. There is a

Unable to set shortcuts in LyX 1.6.1

[Grant Jacobs]

I am trying understand how to set a keyboard shortcut to font-ita in 
LyX 1.6.1, but it just doesn't seem to work for me.


I go to Preferences > Fonts, Layouts and Textclasses then select 
'font-ital', then press 'Modify'. I enter my shortcut (alt-cmd-I), 
then press 'OK'.


LyX then showed that I how had *two* entries for font-ital, the 
original with no shortcut and a new one below it with my shortcut. 
(This is a bit confusing, as I asked it to *Modify* the entry, not 
create a new duplicate.) I note there is a "feature" whereby a user 
can 'Remove' actions with shortcuts assigned to them, but not those 
without shortcuts assigned to them. None of the actions with 
shortcuts assigned to them have a "duplicate" with no shortcut, only 
the new one I have added/modified.


In any event, now back in my text, I select some text and press 
alt-cmd-I and nothing happens.


I have tried quite a number of different shortcuts and the outcomes 
is always the same: no action is taken on applying the shortcut to 
selected text.


I would appreciate it if anyone can advise me what the problem is.

I am aware that there is a type called "emphasis", but to me that 
reads as "what the system decides at some later time to represent 
emphasis". I want italics, and *only* italics. Emphasis could in 
principle be any number of a range of things, e.g. small caps, 
boldface, an alternative font type, etc. (For example, names of 
animal species must be in italics, not some arbitrary "emphasis" type 
of the writer's choice.)


I have tried creating new shortcuts from scratch (using 'New' rather 
than 'Modify') but this doesn't provide a work-around: still no 
activity.


I've also tried using it in different Spaces, but that doesn't seem 
to be the issue.


Furthermore, LyX crashed on me (ironically while trying to save a 
file on quitting). One unexpected thing here was that it asked me to 
save the file, claiming the backup was newer, but I hadn't touched 
the file in quite some time, so the automatic save should have meant 
that both the backup and current file had the same date/time. Anyway, 
in doing so it "forgot" what windows I had open.

Problem with enviroment followed by figures

[Kyri]

Hi,

I'm new in LyX. I'm using v.1.6.1 and I'm trying to create my dissertation's
first page. The problem is that I want to add the university stamp figure,
and below that I want to write the author, date etc.

The problem is that from the point that I add the figure and afterwards, the
Author and Date texts are getting messed up. They are not centered any more,
and I'm not allowed to change their properties from the "Paragraph Settings"
button.

Thanks

This is a standard problem with frontmatter. Solutions proposed on
this list were: creation of graphics for first page (put in as an
image or glue by pdftk) or try some LaTeX code.
I have an package modified from someone else package, which is tuned
for my university. Other solution lies somewhere between these two.

I expect this to be a problem more general than just Fedora. The package in 
Fedora is quite vanilla (only small localized changes).

Could you please provide us with a single (and simple as possible) example 
where this occurs? If you prefer you can send me the example by private email.

Bibliography headers and TOC

[Pablo]

Hi all!
I'm using Lyx 1.6.0 to write my master thesis. It's all fine, except two
points for which I dont' find solutions neither in the archives nor other
forums.

1- Bibliography header. I'm using document class BOOK and fancy headers.
Bilbiografy appears capitalized and both in upper-left and upper-right
corners, which is annoying for me. I would like to have it not capitalized
and just in one corner.

2- Bibliography and TOC. Ok, just marking the option in the Bibtex Generated
Bibliography, it does the correct TOC, but when using the generated PDF and
clicking there in toc, the hyperlink brings me to the chapter before.

Thanks in advance

Re: Question on whitespace at the end of raw TeX - inserts

[Helge Hafting]

Dieter Jurzitza wrote:

Hi folks,
first of all: thank you for all your replies. And yes, after hearing what you 
came up with I think ERT should remain ERT and inserting an automatic blank 
_within_ the ERT is not a good idea.


But wait: what is LyX saying about itself, WYSIWYM? Hey, if I put a whitespace 
after the end of an ERT you tell me we see it but we won't protect it because 
you put it there but because you've been working with an ERT before we are 
sure you did not mean to see a whitespace there ... 

sorry. This is nothing related to "other text processing systems". This is 
related to "I would expect to see what I mean".


I understand what you mean, but "what you see is what you mean" can also
be understood as "this ERT stuff doing funny things to the text that 
follows it is what I mean..."


There are various latex constructs that do things to the _next_
character - or even removes it. The next character might be the space 
following the ERT box.


When an ERT box end in a latex command, I add {} to avoid surprises. 
This is easy enough to do, and {} won't usually hurt when it isn't 
necessary.  Still, it can't be done automatically, in case you have

something odd in that ERT.

I don't think this can be solved, but if it could, I'd rather spend
the effort on supporting more packages so that ERT won't be necessary.
LyX without ERT should be easy to use and understand.

There is one very basic question I am rising here for discussion: is the 
target beauty or understandability? I think all of you spend hours and hours 
(I _really_ appreciate, don't get me wrong) in making LyX to what it is: 
highly usuable, extremely configurable and with a very nice user interface. 

However, I think all we are TeXnicians to some extent, aren't we? And that's 
the measure LyX will be checked against: the "native" user not being that 
familiar with TeX.


According to my understanding he should be protected against the oddities of 
TeX by the help of LyX. Well, I hear you say, the native user will not use 
TeX inserts - maybe - but he might do so. And that's were my point starts. I 
would say that if someone puts whitespace after an ERT, why would he do this? 
I'd say he does this because he want's it to be there.



Usually, yes. Your case is the normal one. But there are other cases,
and auto-adding anything will make the unusual cases impossible. And the 
whole point of ERT is to support unusual stuff. Anything normal ought to 
be supported without ERT - someday.

Or, use ERT and custom environments for the entire frontmatter instead of 
trying to shoehorn your document class into doing the job. I use ERT and 
custom environments. I don't even use the Author and Title environments. It 
works wonderfully.

My justification for this is that environments are meant to promote 
consistency throughout your document, but there's very little consistency in 
frontmatter -- it's all one-off type of stuff.

text selection using mouse

[Iain Mac Donald]

If I select text using the cursor keys everything works as expected. If
I use the mouse the selection de-selects itself after a fraction of a
second - long before you can do anything with it. All other mouse
actions work normally.

I only have a few Qt based apps but it is only LyX that exhibits
this behaviour. I am using LyX 1.5.5 on Debian Lenny with XFCE.

Ideas anyone?

Thanks Jürgen you got it!

Clipman and LyX are not playing nice together. Clipman supports
grabbing selections. If I select the Clipman option "Ignore selections"
then the mouse selection of text in LyX works fine. The downside is
that enabling selections is exactly the reason I use Clipman as it is
an easy way to copy stuff between xterms and GUI apps.

Do you know the background/issue involved here?

(coco) Aspell and Lyx - how to add a Personal Dictionary file?

I'm a little confused. To start the appendix you Document->Start

Re: Question on whitespace at the end of raw TeX - inserts

[Dieter Jurzitza]

Dear Helge,
thank you for your reply. There were several of them - and I came to the end 
that I - to some extend - took it too simple. My personal wrap up is the fact 
that the current TeX-inserts in LyX are not encapsulated - i. e. they reach 
further than the closing insert "bracket".

So, maybe there would be an option to define encapsulated and non encapsulated 
TeX-inserts. But even this increases the complexity as you'd have to cope 
with two different "insert" styles.

Therefore I - sort of accepted, though missing an option to explain why things 
are as they are.

Take care





Dieter

Tabbed Documents in Lyx for Mac

[baudencm]

I am using Lyx version 1.6.1 on a mac. I have opened multiple documents which
open multiple windows. I want to dock those extra documents as tabs in one
window. How do I "dock" a document inside of one window?

Opening the User's Guide while a document is open will automatically put it
in its own tab. How do I do that manually?

Please point me to the correct forum or manual as my searches have turned up
zero. (Maybe I'm just a terrible "seeker") 

Thanks!

Hi there,

If I understood correctly you want to open documents in tabs in the

To do so, open LyX 1.6.1, go to preferences (shortcut key combo:

and enable "Open documents in tabs" in the Look & Feel -> User

cocoAspell seems to want user dictionaries to be placed in
~/Library/Spelling. It should work, therefore, if you enter
~/Library/Spelling/mydictionary (or whatever filename you want) into
LyX > Preferences > Language Settings > Spelling > Personal
Dictionary.

Re: Tabbed Documents in Lyx for Mac

Ah hah! You are a genius my friend. Thank you very much. It would be nice if
there were a little button on the title bar to make a separate window a tab.
Anyway, thanks again for your help. It is much appreciated.

Yes, this will change the default behavior of LyX. However, if you
don't want to change that setting, you can simply have the focus in
the window you want, and choose View > [filename] to select the
document you want to have in a tab of that window, while leaving open
any other windows in which that document appears. (Right clicking on
the tab will allow you to close that document in all windows or to
hide its appearance in this window.)

Re: (coco) Aspell and Lyx - how to add a Personal Dictionary file?

[Dr. Joachim K. Rennstich]

Unfortunately, that didn't do the trick. I typed in the path (from  
User/ on). Maybe that was wrong? I assume, I don't have to actually  
create any file?


Thanks again for the fast response!

I can access it at the moment:

when it is again down, you can download a Windows installer from here:

(Please don't top post: it makes it hard for others to follow along.)

You don't need to create the file first.

What I gave you works for me and fits the cocoAspell FAQ. There is a
webpage 
(http://jann.is/daily/archives/822-Location-of-the-personal-dictionary-aspellcocoAspell.html)
that says the personal dictionary can be found at
~/Library/Preferences/cocoAspell/[dictionaryname].pws. You might try
putting it there; if that doesn't work, you could try contacting the
author of cocoAspell for advice.

Re: Windows Version

[Afief Halumi]

That is weird...
I tried accessing it for a week and it didn't work, and right now it
doesn't work either... Certainly worth looking into.

The Berlios link solved my problems but I can only guess that many
others face the same problems I did.

Thanks for your help,
Afief
