Using chrome as pdf viewer
1. Wayland is the new thing to replace X11 (eventually) 2. Many of us work from home, and need to do presentations But sharing screens under wayland doesn't work well. My usual way to present from lyx is to use the view button, which opens a window with evince as viewer (or okular will also work). Then to present from chrome, I will have a choice on X11 of sharing screen, a window, or a chrome tab. I would normally choose to share the pdf viewer window. This doesn't work on wayland. Running chrome on wayland shows no windows to share. But a thought is sharing a chrome tab might work. So that brings up my question, how can I configure lyx to open a chrome tab as the pdf viewer? From what I can see, chrome seems to be an adequate viewer for most presentation purposes (has basics, no fancy features though).

Requirements for a subject index
In the recent past I have made similar inquiries, but they received no response. After I was very nicely pointed out by your colleagues what I could improve on my questions to you - thank you very much! - I would like to make my request again. My request today completely replaces my older requests! I have now made two MWEs by radically deleting the text in the LYX file and emptying the preamble as much as possible. Both MWEs contain the same text and only differ in terms of the index processor. There are sections A, B and a footnote (F) in the document. The three keywords should have the lowercase letter a, b or f after the page number in the subject index, depending on which of the three sections (A, B, F) they are placed in. MWE1 uses the index processor texindy. The associated PDF file shows that a German DUDEN order according to DIN5007-1 can be created in the subject register, just as I would like it to be. The three keywords appear, but without a page number. This is not surprising, since the macros in the preamble were also tailored for the index processor Makeindex (but not by me - I am not familiar with it). MWE2 uses the Makeindex index processor in the following way: Document > Settings > Index: Standard Preamble: \ usepackage [makeidx] \ makeindex [-g] The subject index is completely missing in the associated PDF file. Now to my concern: The subject index should be classified according to DIN5007-1 and some specially marked keywords should have a lower case letter after the page number. As long as that is achieved, it doesn't matter which index processor I use.
