Fwd: Moving around
Perhaps you can repost your example, between pre and /pre tags? > > Paul > > Paul, sorry you couldn't see the proper formatting. I repost the formula with the tags inside the formula, so it should be clear A \frac{1}{2} B + C \left(1+1\right) D = 2.5 E I can say that I have exactly the same behavior you describe, in any place. In fact, I also use the cua bind, plus a bunch of personal bindings which, however, are not related to moving actions. It seems to me that there is some consensus about the fact that moving/selecting could be improved. Here is what I think. The guidelines should be as follows: Moving: left/right arrow: moves to the previous/next character ctrl+arrow: moves to the previous/next word ctrl+home/end: moves to the begging/end of the line up/down arrow: moves to the previous/next line Selecting: shitf+arrow: selects from current position to the previous/next character shift+ctrl+arrow: selects from current position to the previous/next word shift+ctrl+home/end: selects from current position to the begging/end of the line shitf+up/down arrow: selects from current position to the previous/next line This is actually what really happens when you are in a pure text paragraph. The problem is how to interpret this inside a formula. I do realize that a formula has a much more complex structure and syntax than a text paragraph, yet what happens now is (to me) quite disconnected from what happens inside a text paragraph and I get very confused when I select inside a formula. My suggestion is as follows. Let me put a few more tags: A \frac{ AA 1 AB }{ 2 } B + C \left( CA 1 CB + CD 1 CE \right) D = 2.5 E Moving with (right) arrow is consistent: you go from A to AA then to AB or from C to CA then to CB, CD and CE. Selecting with arrows should be something close to this. That is, selecting the smallest chunk of code possible. At present, selecting with arrows has a complete different behavior depending where you are: - if you are in CA it selects CA-CB (ok) - if you are in C it selects C-D (why? not ok for me) Ctrl+arrow and shift+ctrl+arrow are inconsistent: what happens now is that: - if you are in CA with ctrl+right you go in CE (ok) - if you are in C with ctrl+right you go in E (not ok) and the same when selecting. What I think it should happen is: - if you are in CA with ctrl+right you go in CE (ok) - if you are in C with ctrl+right you go in D (a movement that I cannot perform with any combination) and when selecting: - if you are in CA with shit+ctrl+right you select CA-CE (ok) - if you are in C with shift+ctrl+right you select C-D (that is, the same action that at present is performed by shift+right) Note also that at present Home and ctrl+right arrow behave _exactly_ the same (and the same for the shifted version): this is a waste of resource in my opinion and even a bit confusing. I hope to have explained myself clearly (and not have bored you...)

Re: Upgrading to Lyx 2.2
Many thanks to all those involved with 2.2.0. It has been packaged by the team and added to the MX-Linux test repos. My own installation on MX-15 went without any issues. Have not found any bugs nor backwards compatibility problems, Lyx 2.2.0 should soon be upgraded to the main MX repository. Again thanks, Gordon NZ.

Does anyone know if there is currently a way to save cell results for reuse outside the table? This is important for the situation I’m working with. Thanks, Ron I'm the author of this module Ron. I was alerted to this failure just a week ago by another frustrated user. I'm in the process of updating the module and documentation. In the meantime you can do the following. Open spreadtab.module in a text editor. Scan down until you come to the line InsetLayout Flex:sLSaveCell In the definition of sLSaveCell, scan down to the line PassThru 0. Change the 0 to 1 so it reads PassThru 1. Save and close the module. (The 0 can have got there only through some kind of brain fade on my part. The 1 is essential if a backslash, as occurs in \Balance, is to be interpreted correctly. Alternatively, it's possible I intended \Balance to be entered in an ERT inset but forgot to document the fact.) The other complication is the changed handling of LaTeX arguments in styles and insets in LyX from (was it?) 2.1.4. Because of this change, some areas of the documentation are no longer accurate. To save the contents of a cell you need to put the sLSaveCell inset into the Required argument inset that should be visible in the example tables when you click the cursor in them, and can also be inserted from the Insert menu (located in the area of that rather long menu where Short Title lurks) when the cursor is in an sLTable environment. Finally, when using saved results later in a document, you need to be aware of the limitations of instant preview, which doesn't know about values calculated in earlier previews, except when the document is first opened, so you may want to save, close and re-open the document to see a saved value used later. (The pdf is unaffected by this limitation.) Having not heard a peep about the spreadtab module for years (hence its neglect), it's disconcerting but cheering to find two people, within 10 days, have actually had a look at it.

Glad you got it fixed. I thought we had an enhancement request open to prevent duplicate entries for certain styles (like title, and as you found I guess address also). But I can't find it.

Suggestions on how to deal with this would be most welcome. Walter, First, did you examine the error log to see the details? Second, this frequently occurs when you have an unintended character, such as a digbat, inserted in the document or you're missing a package. Try reducing the letter to a minimal document that compiles, then incrementally add text until you discover the problem area. HTH, Rich

Issue with Spreadtab module
Hi, One of the documented features of the spreadtab module is the ability to save calculated values (see section 1.6 of the SpreadtabWithLyx.pdf) The method described is not working either in LyX 2.1 or 2.2. The instructions say to insert > Short Title before the table, but it does not exist in these versions, and the source file of the instructions (SpreadtabWithLyx.lyx) throws an error on section 1.6 when building: \sLRetrieve{\Balance} .\label{If-we-wish} It is tempting to put this The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message was never \def'ed.
