Where to get an overview over possible key-binding commands which is not pre-defined?

2009-09-23 Thread Bjørn Liene Gundersen
Hi,

I wish to get an overview over parameters to key-bindings to all
functions in LyX, where can I find that? For instance, if I want to
make a key-binding to Insert figure float I need to search up the
key-binding float-insert and modify it to float-insert figure and
give it a short cut. What if I want to make a short-cut for Insert
Vertical Space? I tried to modify the key-binding space-insert to
space-insert vertical but it didn't work for me, how to do that, how
can I get an overview on how to do it in similar situations? Does it
exist a map of possible key-bindings commands?

Thanks and best regards

No PDF preview in LyX: Error converting to loadable format

2009-09-23 Thread Bjørn Liene Gundersen
Hi,

I allow myself to ask the lyx user list one more question before I
become an expert :-) I am using LyX 1.6.4, the Complete Alternative
Windows installation. When I insert PDF document in a figure float,
LyX gives me the message Error converting to loadable format. I have
entered the Tools-Preferences
dialog and the Converters pane, but no luck here. Is there a way to
get around this problem or is it simply a bug?

Best regards Bjørn Liene Gundersen

Distribute the title (frontmatter) over several lines separated with line space?

2009-08-24 Thread Bjørn Liene Gundersen
Hi,

I am a new user with LyX, have previousely been using Scientific
Workplace (SWP). I am using LyX 1.63 for Windows with the standard
report template. In the frontmatter dialog in Scientific Workplace I
normally use to paste a graphic/icon topmost and divide the title on
lines with several spaces between them. Now I am trying to do the same
with LyX without the same luck. How can I distribute the title
(frontmatter) over two or more lines with line spaces between them?
and how can I place a picture topmost in the title? is that possible
as it is with SWP? Where can I read more about customizing the
frontmatter?

A second question: when I started using LyX I though the typeface was
somewhat greyed out or foggy when I compiled the PDF file, and not
that black and clear that I am used to from SWP. I realized that if I
add the following in the LaTeX preamble this was improved
significantly, but still slightly lighter than SWP.

\usepackage{ifpdf} % part of the hyperref bundle
\ifpdf % if pdflatex is used
 % set fonts for nicer pdf view
 \IfFileExists{lmodern.sty}{\usepackage{lmodern}}{}

I am using pdflatex. Is there something I can do to make the typeface
of the printout/pdf even more dark/clear?
