Thanks, Wolfgang
Dear Wolfgang,
I am not sure to which "somewhere" you refer. In LyX, I see the
shortcuts indicated on menu entries that have shortcuts and all
shortcuts are listed under Preferences > Editing > Shortcuts.
Best, Daniel
Thanks, Daniel
under shortcuts I have
bindfile cua
show key bindings and everything else is empty.
The same, if I open various help files.
Could somebody send me an example, if he/she has shortcuts listed
in it?
Wolfgang
Attached is my cua.bind file. You can normally find it in your
Library directory (path to which can be found under Help > About
LyX). If it is not there, then I expect something is wrong with
your
installation. If it is there, maybe it is overridden by another
cua.bind file in your User directory (path in About LyX)?
Daniel
Thanks, Daniel and Paul. I wasn't brave enough to click on the > 's
which shows a huge number of shortcuts. So my lyx seems to be ok.
My question is, whether there is a selection of some of the most
useful shortcuts, and whether (and how) they are displayed in my lyx
document.
Wolfgang
Is Help > Shortcuts doing what you are after?
Daniel
No, Daniel. I still do not understand how to get this >>>
(From User Guide 2.7)
You will learn more and more key bindings and short-cut keys as you
use
LyX, because most actions will prompt a
>>> small message in the status bar at the bottom of LyX's main
window
which describes the name of the action you have just triggered, and
any
existing key bindings for that action. The LyX menus also list the
defined key bindings. The notation for the key bindings is very
similar
to the notation used in this documentation, so you should not have any
problems understanding it. However, notice that Shift-modifiers are
explicitly mentioned, so “Alt+P Shift+A” means Alt+P followed by a
capital A.
Let' say, I paste with the mouse a few words in my document and do
Bold Strg+Alt+B
which does what I want. But I can't see afterwards the
small message in the status bar at the bottom of LyX's main window
Wolfgang
The status bar is where you see "Font: Default" with an empty document
open. When I take the steps you did I see:
Action: Paste text with the mouse
Status bar text: "Paste (paste ⌘V, ⇧Ins)"
which indicates that the paste keyboard shortcut is are ⌘V and ⇧Ins (on
Mac).
Action: Make text bold via the shortcut (on mac ⌘B)
Status bar text: "Font: Bold"
So, it seems if I trigger an action via the mouse, the shortcut is
shown
while when I already know the shortcut and press it, the shortcut is
not
shown. Makes sense to me.
Similarly: if you press the Emphasis toolbar button with the mouse, the
keyboard shortcut is shown, while if you press the shortcut it is
not shown.
Daniel
"where you see "Font: Default""
Where should I see it?
See the attached screen capture. If you work in full screen it might
be hidden depending on your setting of Hide Statusbar in Preferences >
Editing > Control.
Let's take another example:
I would like to use a Bookmark
I do
>Navigate>Bookmarks>Save Bookmark1 and I am told to use ^ + F1
How do I invoke the status bar and how do I get this shortcut ^ + F1
into it?
The status bar is always there (with the restriction mentioned above).
The status bar will show the shortcut briefly if you click on the menu.
Finally I would like to have a status bar shown with a number of
often used shortcuts in it at which I could click after having
selected a marked sequence of words or whatever, or after being at a
certain place in the document where the action (bookmark1) should be
triggered
Currently, the status bar only shows the shortcut for the command
issued. I guess what you would like to see is often used commands and
their shortcuts (maybe depending on the context). I don't think this
is currently implemented but it might be a good idea, so you could
file an enhancement request.
I seem to remember LyX showing possible shortcut keys in the statusbar
once a modifier key was pressed but cannot see this currently (at
least on macOS).
Daniel
Thanks again, Daniel, for your patience and for the screenshot. How did
you get the Font:Default line with the red rim? If I go to the lower
part of the lyx screen and press the right
