The '~S' modifier seems to be an exception to overriding previous key bindings. Having only this binding: \bind C-~S-a self-insert a means that both C-a and C-S-a will insert a 'a'. However, in this case: \bind C-a self-insert a \bind C-S-A self-insert A \bind C-~S-a self-insert b pressing C-a - 'a' so C-S-A - A. The binding C-~S-a is never activated. If one of the previous bindings are removed, i.e. \bind C-S-A self-insert A \bind C-~S-a self-insert b then C-a - 'A' and C-S-a - b.

Yes, I think that what you need to do is simply make sure that your second
line in the layout file declares what latex class the layout is based on.
In the example below, 'article' is the class and 'clawar' is the name of
the layout.
Then run reconfigure, now it should look for the class you want.

Ok... we probably need to get some basics right here first...
.sty-files, you add by writing stuff like:
\usepackage{somepackage}
in your preamble.
Then we have the layout and latex classes. These two are connected, I
guess you can say that each layout is based on a latex class.
In this example, the layout - clawar - was based on the class article.
From my file: clawar.layout
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this

It sounds like you want to use a new class with lyx (mustek), and for that
you probably have to start by creating a new layout file (mustek.layout?).
Here's an example of how I've created a layout file to use the class
songbook.

Is this a solid workaround for using bibunits without bibliographytitle
Hi
I'm using bibunits.sty to insert a special list of references in my
thesis. In this case I don't want the usual Bibliography-title, and I'm
using a tip from this list to fix that. My question is if this
solution will cause problems later on.
Bascially I'm doing the following:
(The lyx-file is here: http://www.md.kth.se/~chr/lyx/examples/bibunits/ )
In preamble:\usepackage{bibunits}
In document:
(ERT) \begin{bibunit}[unsrt]
Normal citations (or \nocite{}-commands)
(ERT) \def\chapter*#1{}
(ERT) \putbib[aBibtexFile]
(ERT) \end{bibunit}
The rest of the thesis
I've figured out that \def\chapter*#1{} redefines the environment
chapter*, but I'm not sure if this will be temporary, or if there is a
risk that later 'chapter*'-environments will be affected?
In the original tip, the redefinition was to be inserted just before the
bibliography, so there wasn't any risk of affecting a later
chapter*-environment.

It should depend at which level this is done, may be

In the original tip, the redefinition was to be inserted just before the

This redefinition of chapter* may kill the appendix layout anyway.
Ok, so appendix uses chapter*... then I can test that and just see if

Well, that gets us into philosophical discussions about the nature of
reality :-) What I know ('cause I just tried it) is that if I open a
basic command-line prompt window on Win 2K, and do a dir \progra~1, I
get expected output from the dir command. If instead I do dir \Program
Files, I get a bunch of File Not Found messages. To me that says that
the progra~1 version of the filename is at a more basic level in the OS.
This behaviour is actually identical to *nix shells, you have to quote the
argument... for instance by doing:
dir \program files
The reason that you get two File Not Found is because you're trying to
list '\program' and '.\files'...
In any case, the 8.3 version works, and so Lyx (or other programs) can
easily be ported just by substituting '\' for '/', and telling the Windows
user which version of the names to use. Constructive laziness :-)
To see the 8.3-names, just do:
dir /x
for more help on dir, do:
dir /?
As for whether there's a no spaces in filenames rule in *nix, it's like
the rule about driving on a particular side of the road.
I've never heard of such a rule, and quite often use spaces (and åäö) in
my names...
It's true that
you can, with some effort, create names that have spaces (or other
non-printing characters), just as you can ignore the signs and drive up
the exit ramp onto the freeway. Either action is probably going to make
for an interesting day, though.
It isn't *that* difficult really, more like tedious having to remember
the quoting. (In tcsh the :q and :x modifiers are useful to quote the
content of a variable for instance.)

If you only want to 'italize' the word where you insert the actual index,
you can do this using some kind of ERT. Try inserting this into your

\newcommand\myindex[1]{\emph{#1}\index{#1}}

Um.. currvita.sty is a package (.sty) and not a document class (.cls), so
you are not likely[1] to find it under Layout-Document-Class. However,
using packages is usually really straight forward. Just add:
\usepackage{currvita}
in your preamble.
Btw, here's an example of a CV written using LyX:
http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/ExampleCV/ExampleCV
/Christian
[1] It is of course possible to create a LyX layout-file that
automatically adds
\usepackage{currvita}
to the preamble. Then that layout would show up under
Layout-Document-Class. However, the document will still be based on some
other document class such as article.
