Auto re-center is driving me crazy

2004-10-25 Thread christoff pale
Hi,
I find the auto-center feature (i.e. lyx tries to
recenter the current viewport to put the line with the
caret in the middle) to be annoying--especially when I
editing the last paragraph of a file. 
Is there a way to turn this off?
thanks

doc import/export

2004-10-23 Thread christoff pale
Hi,
is there a way to import doc files into lyx?
how about exporting from lyx to a doc file?
is this planned for lyx 1.4?
Since openoffice people already have an import/export
filter for doc, is it not possible to use that for
lyx?
thanks

2004-01-15 Thread christoff pale
Hi, 
I am on linux redhat 9.0 i386 and have checkout the
latest
cvs source. When I configure --with-frontend=xforms
things are compiled and I am able to launch lyx-xforms

./configure --with-frontend=qt and there are no
warnings
then i do "make". This fails with errors
I paste the relavent part here:

meta key: Alt -> ESC

2004-01-07 Thread christoff pale
Hi,
how do I change my meta key to ESC?
Actually I am use to using some 
functions in lyx with the alt key, but
sometimes I use ESC (because of my emacs use)

Can I also bind ESC to the META key for lyX?
thanks

lyx server (not serverpipe)

2003-12-15 Thread christoff pale
Hi,
In emacs, one can start a emacs-server and then 
I can do emacsclient file.xyz and it will open this in
the existing process.
I use lyxpipe a lot, and when I have multiple lyx
sessions, this lyxpipe gets corrupted.

Is it possible to add this feature in lyx? However, I
would prefer xemacs style buffer tabs over this
solution.

Where do I place a feature request?

using the algorithm environment

2003-12-12 Thread christoff pale
Hi,
how do I use the algorithm environment.
What I mean is, how do I get "If" "then", "while"

etc . Do I have to use ERT?
I would appreciate a small example.
thanks

Feature Request: Buffer Tabs

2003-12-08 Thread christoff pale
Hi,
It would be great to have buffer tabs in LyX (much
like xemacs). This would also solve the problems of
corrupted lyxpipe due to multiple lyx sessions. (I use
lyx pipe to insert citations into lyx, and since there
is a unique instance of lyx pipe, multiple instances
of lyx process corrupts the lyx pipe so that external
programs can no longer insert.)

feature requests: nicer table display

2003-12-07 Thread christoff pale
Hi,
I am not sure how hard it would be to implement this
but it would be nice to have tables that wrap lines
rather than just grow horizontally and get off from
the page. I am specifically talking about the case
when I put in the argument for the tabular as p{1in}
etc

Perhaps it would be better to provide another feature
called "multirow tables"

thanks for a truly great and indespensible software!

postscript view update keybinding

2003-12-03 Thread christoff pale
Hi, 
I want to bind the 
view->update->postscript 
to a shortcut key.

I searched the lyx-mailing list archive and someone
recommended that I put 

\bind "C-x C-g" "buffer-view-ps"

in  ~/.lyx/bind/menus.bind file

I did that and I get the following message:

LyX: Unknown LyX function `buffer-view-ps' [around
line 190 of file ~/.lyx/bind/menus.bind]

how can I fix this?
thanks
