shift-arrow selection

2009-04-10 Thread Nils Becker
Hi, I am writing to ask whether this is a bug: When editing text or math, in previous versions of lyx I often used shift-rightarrow or shift-leftarrow to select text letter by letter. This does not work for me anymore on lyx 1.6.2, mac os x. (When I press option or command in addition, word-wise

PNG to EPS without file size explosion

2008-12-16 Thread Nils Becker
Hi, when exporting a LyX file with embedded .png graphics as "LaTeX (plain)", .eps files are generated automatically from the .png's. That's good! However the resulting .eps file sizes can get huge. (from 700K to 110M in one case). The reason is that LyX uses convert with no options to do the .pn

Hi, I am not sure whether the following behavior in LyX 1.4.3 is a bug or is intended: When editing text in lyx, an inline math (or ERT) insert is not counted as a word. For example, if I have "this is text more text" on a line, Ctrl+LeftArrow will jump one word forward, but will skip and end u
