Hello Everyone,
Using LyX Version 2.3.5.2 Debian Bullseye [testing] upgraded.
In a document attempted to use double quote marks " by Shift + " keys,
and only single quote marks ' were placed.
Read something on the net regarding Ctrl + " which didn't work.
So tried Ctrl + Shift " which did. I haven't come across this before
and wondered if it is my keyboard or is this what LyX does now? If the
latter, where can I read about such changes in the future?
Thank you,

If you navigate to Tools > Preferences... > Editing > Shortcuts and look
up the "quote-insert" function, what does it show? For me, it shows the
double quote symbol ("). If you have something else, try replacing it
with the double quote character.

Installing Lyx and Miktex2.9. for Windows 10
Dear lyx users, I need your help. Can you advise me on the best way to install these 2 programs and explain the error I get using the versions of Miktex2.9 and lyx 2.3.5 I have installed. I have downloaded basic-miktex-20.6.29-x64.exe and then run the basic miktex installer (64 bit) version. I have followed that by installing lyx 2.3.5 using the lyx basic installer for windows 7 and later. Before proceeding further there was a cautionary note saying I need to instal a Tex distribution. I assume that this would be satisfied if have installed Miktex correctly. I then followed the wizard installation 2.3.52. I missed the start menu request as I don’t know what choice to make. I have a problem when I get to latex distribution, because there is a reference to the file latex.exe and request for its path. I have ticked ‘Dont use latex’ and then ticked instal. Running the installed version of lyx I get a the message ‘the exernal program pplatex finished with an error’. It is recommended that I fix the erro in the xternal progam. Very helpful? Can anyone help me out.

And, as a matter of fact, she did :-)-O I like to bleed on the edge so I update LyX the day I become aware of it for myself but have it on a package manager (called homebrew) on the boxes I "support". The only small issue is one needs to reinstall MacTeX once a year. I have a script for this which I run on all my own and supported machines. The script doesn't even install the full version of MacTeX, only the smaller BasicTeX after saving all packages installed and then pulling the additional ones afterwards saving a few Gigs (even though disk space is cheap these days). Once a month one runs the TeX Live Manager from the command line or tlcockpit (a java app) and the updates are done. Totally painless. greetings, el On 16/06/2020 14:25, Mike Reeks wrote: > Yes Eberhard avery useful. > > Many of my colleagues have suggested it. I should have done it years > ago.
