Re: txfonts integral sign replaced with intersection operator
Just as a follow-up for anyone who’s interested... It appears that the txfonts/pxfonts packages are not compatible with the esint package that LyX uses for mathmode. To disable it: Go to Document > Settings... Go to the ‘Math Options’ preferences pane. Untick both the ‘Use esint package automatically’ and ‘Use esint package’. It appears that the \varint command I referred to earlier is part of the esint package, so it is no longer available. Hope this helps!

Widows... and orphans
Is there any way to avoid widows and orphans showing up in Lyx? Thanks! FN Frederick Noronha +91-9822122436 +91-832-2409490

Thank you for taking time. I see I misspelled mac as max---sorry.
For \label{E} I used the Shortcuts window, found label-insert, and assigned

Yes. Only some insets have their own functions. Ones that do not are
inserted using the generic inset-insert. The syntax here is ugly, I'm
afraid, but it just happens to be specifically documented for ref under
Help>LyX Functions, LFUN_INSET_INSERT. The principle behind the syntax
is that you basically have to enter what would appear in the LyX file
itself.
For accents, your answer led me to the Shortcuts window under "Cursor, Mouse and Editing functions.
This solved my problem very nicely for \H{o} since "accent-hungarian-umlaut" produces the
latex code \H{}. But then I was surprised to see that "accent-acute" did not produce the
latex code \'{}, although character in both LyX and LaTex source was accented. I had the same problem
with accent-umlaut. Is it possible to change this by using a different LyX function?
accent-acute and accent-umlaut seem to demand an argument. So you can
have "accent-umlaut a", or o or e, but not just "accent-umlaut". That
said, as Bennett mentioned, there are standard Mac ways to enter such
characters, and LyX is supposed to obey them.
But now I have a new question. What is the mini-buffer? How do I find out
about it? I searched the User's guide, but found nothing.
I guess the official name is "Command Buffer", since it lives at
View>Toolbars>Command Buffer, at least on Linux (and here can be
accessed as Alt-x). Then you can enter commands by hand. This is good
for testing things before assigning keystrokes, etc, too.

On Mac, the standard way to enter "ó" is: e o. This works in LyX
as well: you can basically type special characters using Mac
standards.
I don't know how to get the equivalent of \H{o}, but that's just my
ignorance. (How would you do it in TextEdit.app? Doesn't that work in
LyX?)
