Keyboard shortcut for Smallcaps

[Rasmus K . R .]

Hi!

I'm typesetting a document where I have to apply Smallcaps a lot, using LyX 
2.0.3.

I cannot seem to be able to figure out how to request smallcaps using a lyx 
function, so I have not been able to set a keyboard shortcut.

I have been able to set a shortcut for Apply Last Text Style by calling the 
function textstyle-apply, but would prefer a direct shortcut.

I've played around with various commands, but cannot seem to find the correct 
one, and I was unable to look it up in the list of LyX functions.

Help would be appreciated,

Rasmus

Hi Rasmus,

I haven't tested this much, but try
textstyle-update shape 3

The way to discover LFUNs is either to start LyX with -dbg action
(from the command line, if Linux) or to enable user actions in the
messages pane. You can also see a list of LFUNs and descriptions of
them in the help menu.

Scrolling with keyboard?

[Rainer M Krug]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi

when correcting / reviewing something, it would be nice to be able to scroll 
the document, but that
the cursor stays on the same position on the screen, i.e. if I scroll one line 
down, the cursor
jumps one line down as well.

Is there a keyboard shortcut for this? Or can I define one? Cursor down is not 
ideal, as I would
like to have the cursor in the middle of the screen.

Thanks,

Rainer

This has been discussed before in a different context, namely making
LyX behave like a typewriter machine.

One partial solution is proposed here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg86552.html .

Add new shortcut and assign:
command-sequence break-paragraph; screen-recenter

to
shift+return

Adapt it to your needs.


Come to think about it, we could revive the old and unpopular
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/6692 . Essentially we could come up
with a 'Review' or 'View only' mode in LyX that would Disable
Editing and temporarily append 'screen-recenter' to the up/down and
pgup/pgdown commands. This way the document would be read-only and
always centered on the screen, thus facilitating reviewing the
document. I think it should be rather straightforward to implement
this as all the necessary LFUNs are already there.

Thank you, Jürgen. This gives me the same result as Scott's answer, though I 
can 
see a difference in source: `\noun{x}` as a result of `font-noun`, `\textsc{x}` 
from `textstyle-update shape 3`.

For defining shortcuts, `font-noun` seems to work well as it does not reset the 
text size to normal as `textstyle-update` does.

Generally, a label will look backwards in the text, and use the first 
numbered entity it finds. That might be a figure caption, or a 
chapter/section/subsection, or an enumeration.


So, put your label inside the caption, or immediately after the caption. 
Then, the cross reference will print the figure number.

 This is because the source window shows you with the default settings 
 only the content of the current paragraph. So depending on the amount 
 your have already in your caption, it needs more space to display the 
 new math code.

This old thread was the only mention I could find of this problem ... but I
still experience this behavior in LyX 2 regardless of what is open or not open
at the bottom of the window (in particular, regardless of whether View Source
is open), so there must be more to the story.

Whenever the cursor enters a math mode element that is inside any kind of box
(Figure caption, LyX note, etc.), via pointing device or arrow keys, the
contents of the editing window are immediately scrolled to place the math mode
element at the top.

I am running LyX 2.0.0 on Ubuntu 11.10 x86_64. I could not find any bug reports
on this topic, so I wonder if any others are having the same problem.

On closer examination, the behavior is actually more complex: it
appears that upon entering or creating a math mode element inside a
box, LyX attempts to scroll the math mode element (if necessary and
possible) such that vertical space appearing below it in the editing
window is greater than or equal to the vertical extent of the box.

(I previously believed it tried to place the math mode element at the
top because all my examples were done inside boxes greater than the
height of the window.)

Can anyone reproduce this?

 only the content of the current paragraph. So depending on the amount 
 your have already in your caption, it needs more space to display the 
 new math code.

This old thread was the only mention I could find of this problem ... but I
still experience this behavior in LyX 2 regardless of what is open or not open
at the bottom of the window (in particular, regardless of whether View Source
is open), so there must be more to the story.

Whenever the cursor enters a math mode element that is inside any kind of box
(Figure caption, LyX note, etc.), via pointing device or arrow keys, the
contents of the editing window are immediately scrolled to place the math mode
element at the top.

I am running LyX 2.0.0 on Ubuntu 11.10 x86_64. I could not find any bug reports
on this topic, so I wonder if any others are having the same problem.

Keyboard shortcut for Smallcaps

[Rasmus K . R .]

Hi!

I'm typesetting a document where I have to apply Smallcaps a lot, using LyX 
2.0.3.

I cannot seem to be able to figure out how to request smallcaps using a lyx 
function, so I have not been able to set a keyboard shortcut.

I have been able to set a shortcut for "Apply Last Text Style" by calling the 
function "textstyle-apply", but would prefer a direct shortcut.

I've played around with various commands, but cannot seem to find the correct 
one, and I was unable to look it up in the list of LyX functions.

Help would be appreciated,

Rasmus

Hi Rasmus,

I haven't tested this much, but try
textstyle-update shape 3

The way to discover LFUNs is either to start LyX with -dbg action
(from the command line, if Linux) or to enable user actions in the
messages pane. You can also see a list of LFUNs and descriptions of
them in the help menu.

If you mean "noun", then the function is called font-noun (here, it is bound 
to Alt+C+C).

Scrolling with keyboard?

[Rainer M Krug]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi

when correcting / reviewing something, it would be nice to be able to scroll 
the document, but that
the cursor stays on the same position on the screen, i.e. if I scroll one line 
down, the cursor
jumps one line down as well.

Is there a keyboard shortcut for this? Or can I define one? Cursor down is not 
ideal, as I would
like to have the cursor in the middle of the screen.

Thanks,

Rainer

This has been discussed before in a different context, namely making
LyX behave like a typewriter machine.

One partial solution is proposed here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg86552.html .

Add new shortcut and assign:
command-sequence break-paragraph; screen-recenter

to
shift+return

Adapt it to your needs.


Come to think about it, we could revive the old and unpopular
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/6692 . Essentially we could come up
with a 'Review' or 'View only' mode in LyX that would "Disable
Editing" and temporarily append 'screen-recenter' to the up/down and
pgup/pgdown commands. This way the document would be read-only and
always centered on the screen, thus facilitating reviewing the
document. I think it should be rather straightforward to implement
this as all the necessary LFUNs are already there.

Regards,
Liviu

Thank you, Jürgen. This gives me the same result as Scott's answer, though I 
can 
see a difference in source: `\noun{x}` as a result of `font-noun`, `\textsc{x}` 
from `textstyle-update shape 3`.

For defining shortcuts, `font-noun` seems to work well as it does not reset the 
text size to normal as `textstyle-update` does.

Best,
Rasmus

Perfect - I assigned

command-sequence up; screen-recenter
to Shift-Ctrl-up

and

command-sequence down; screen-recenter
to Shift-Ctrl-down

Re: Cross-Reference to figure

How is the way, to write there the number of the figure instead of the
number of the chapter?



What you insert, is a cross reference to a label. (Not to the figure 
itself.)


If the label is placed inside the caption for your (floating) figure, 
then this will work as intended. The label will pick up the figure 
number, and so any reference to that label will print the figure number.



If the label is placed inside the floating figure but outside the 
caption, then it might refer to the chapter number instead. (Especially 
if the label comes before the caption).


Generally, a "label" will look backwards in the text, and use the first 
numbered entity it finds. That might be a figure caption, or a 
chapter/section/subsection, or an enumeration.


So, put your label inside the caption, or immediately after the caption. 
Then, the cross reference will print the figure number.

This discussion was made in both user and developers lists because my

This old thread was the only mention I could find of this problem ... but I
still experience this behavior in LyX 2 regardless of what is open or not open
at the bottom of the window (in particular, regardless of whether "View Source"
is open), so there must be more to the story.

Whenever the cursor enters a math mode element that is inside any kind of box

element at the top.

I am running LyX 2.0.0 on Ubuntu 11.10 x86_64. I could not find any bug reports
