Used the same cross-reference style lots of times before. Any

slight misbehavior of math typesetting
Hi! When I enter math mode in LyX 1.6.x, a math palette appears on the bottom of the window. That's cool. However, the palette hides the bottom part of the text, whereas the intended (I presume) behavior would be to scroll up the text, so that it is the upper portion of the text that disapperas, instead of the bottom ...

slight misbehavior of math typesetting
Hi! When I enter math mode in LyX 1.6.x, a math palette appears on the bottom of the window. That's cool. However, the palette hides the bottom part of the text, whereas the intended (I presume) behavior would be to scroll up the text, so that it is the upper portion of the text that disapperas, instead of the bottom ...

feature request
Hi All! I understand that in LyX it is not possible to start the numbering in an enumearte environment other than from one. Right? If this is the case, it would be extremely useful to have the possibility of starting from any value, without tweaking the LaTeX code (which I did). A common instance where such a feature would be helpful is in preparing written exam tests. The various questions of the text should be enumerated sequentually, but they are often separated by some text whose paragraphs ought not be numbered.

Hi everybody and many thanks for the creating, maintaining, and improving LyX. I have a small request that may be silly for normally able people, but may be important for the visually impaired. Would it be possible to have rendered math formulas scaled automatically with the text?

customizing toolbars
Hi! I'm using LyX 1.5.1 on Mac OS X 10.4.10 (PPC) I would like to modify the content of some of the toolbars. The on- line help says that this can be done from the preference pane, but then it also adds that one should edit the default.ui file. Hence, not from the pref pane (???) I expected to to find default.ui file in some /Library/Application Support/LyX// directory, but I could only find it in /Applications/ LyX.app/Contents/Resources/ui. Is this the intended location, or did the installer fail to copy some of the files to where they should belong? I noticed that default.ui includes stdtoolbars.inc. I assume that I shuld copy all of these files to my /Users/Library/Application Support/LyX/ directory, and then modify stdtoolbars.inc ? Isn't there any ui-driven procedure to follow?

I expected to to find default.ui file in some /Library/Application Support/LyX// directory, but I could only find it in /Applications/ LyX.app/Contents/Resources/ui. Is this the intended location, or did the installer fail to copy some of the files to where they should belong? I noticed that default.ui includes stdtoolbars.inc. I assume that I shuld copy all of these files to my /Users/Library/Application Support/LyX/ directory, and then modify stdtoolbars.inc ? Isn't there any ui-driven procedure to follow?

Re: Multi-numbered equations
Dear Uwe and Hans,
it also seems to me a rather weird notation, but, for what matters,
here are a few latex lines that would do the job:
$$
\displaylines{
\hfill
1+1=2, \quad F=ma, \quad A=bh
\hfill
\llap{
\stepcounter{equation} (\theequation),
\stepcounter{equation} (\theequation),
\stepcounter{equation} (\theequation)
}
}
$$

keyboard
Hi everybody. I am an occasional LyX user, and I am starting to use it again after quite a long break. I may have already asked the question in the past, but I am afraid I did not receive an answer, and I was not able to find a hint in the documentation nor in the mailing list archive. I have LyX 1.4.3 installed on a Mac g4, running Mac OS X 10.4.8. I would simply like to use my keyboard (standard mac US ascii, I believe) the way I am used to (i.e. punctuation symbols written right away, accented character composed by the standard Mac sequence, such as, e.g. opt-e-e = é). With my present LyX configuration (which I may have inadvertedly altered from the default one), accented characters are obtained by the sequence punctuation symbol-letter, e.g. ,+c=ç. Regular punctuation symbols are obtained by striking the punctuation key twice. I find it annoying that I have to use a non-standard key-stroke sequence to obtain accented characters, and even more annoying that I have to strike punctuation keys twice in order to obtain a plain punctuation symbol. Can anybody help?

keyboard
Hi everybody. I am an occasional LyX user, and I am starting to use it again after quite a long break. I may have already asked the question in the past, but I am afraid I did not receive an answer, and I was not able to find a hint in the documentation nor in the mailing list archive. I have LyX 1.4.3 installed on a Mac g4, running Mac OS X 10.4.8. I would simply like to use my keyboard (standard mac US ascii, I believe) the way I am used to (i.e. punctuation symbols written right away, accented character composed by the standard Mac sequence, such as, e.g. -e-e = "é"). With my present LyX configuration (which I may have inadvertedly altered from the default one), accented characters are obtained by the sequence -letter, e.g. ","+"c"="ç". Regular punctuation symbols are obtained by striking the punctuation key twice. I find it annoying that I have to use a non-standard key-stroke sequence to obtain accented characters, and even more annoying that I have to strike punctuation keys twice in order to obtain a plain punctuation symbol. Can anybody help? Many thanks in advance Stefano --- Stefano Baroni - SISSA & DEMOCRITOS National Simulation Center - Trieste [+39] 040 3787 406 (tel) -528 (fax) / stefanobaroni (skype) Please, if possible, don't send me MS Word or PowerPoint attachments Why?

problems with accents (II)
Dear All: it seems to me that there are some serious problems with accents in LyX. At least with the aqua version for mac that I have 1) Yesterday I reported that I cannot input characters with accent from an us keyboard. optionaccent vowel-key simply does not seem to work. For example, option` a produces à on any mac applications, but nothink on LyX. a` does produce à, but I did not find any way to get é: e' simply gives e' 2) The interaction with LaTex seems to be even weirder. Stte the two attached latex files. The first was generated by hands and it does not display correctly on LyX: the accents are displayed in an empty line, followed by a line with unaccented text. The second file, instead, is produced by LyX. It contains the only accents that I have been able to produce (grave) inputing a` e` i`. The Latex resultin output is obviously wrong. Is this a problem of LyX, of LyX-for-aqua, or of my own configuration? I am not sure that this is the right place to address one's own wishes, but a useful feature which is missing in LyX is the possibility of exporting a latex file with a name different from the current file name (one is not prompted for a filename to give to the exported file). many thanks for your advice Stefano --- Stefano Baroni--- SISSADEMOCRITOS National Simulation Center via Beirut 2-4 34014 Trieste Grignano / [+39] 040 3787 406 (tel) -528 (fax) Please, if possible, don't send me MS Word or PowerPoint attachments Why?

but a useful feature which is missing in LyX is the possibility of
exporting a latex file with a name different from the current file name
