Lyx dashes

[jezZiFeR]

Hello,

since I use Lyx 1.6.3 etc (now 1.6.4.1), I can no longer use alt+-  
to get a dash, because this obviously replaced the cmd+--command  
and decreases the size of the display. As on OSX, which I use, the  
command with alt is always used for the slash and with cmd for de-/ 
and increasing the size, I would like to get that manner back. Could  
somebody tell me, how to achieve this?


Thanks*
Jess

LyX  Preferences  Editing  Shortcuts

Search for key bindings with zoom, and modify the one for buffer-zoom-out.

By the way, an N-dash can also be entered using -- and an M-dash
using ---, which allows for nicer line-breaking than – and —.

Thank you! I´m very much used to entering alt+- for the dash, so  
that´s why I prefer to use it that way. So this really helped,  
entering dash that way now works again, and also the zooming…

Lyx & dashes

[jezZiFeR]

Hello,

since I use Lyx 1.6.3 etc (now 1.6.4.1), I can no longer use "alt"+"-"  
to get a dash, because this obviously replaced the "cmd"+"-"-command  
and decreases the size of the display. As on OSX, which I use, the  
command with "alt" is always used for the slash and with "cmd" for de-/ 
and increasing the size, I would like to get that manner back. Could  
somebody tell me, how to achieve this?

Search for key bindings with "zoom", and modify the one for buffer-zoom-out.

By the way, an N-dash can also be entered using "--" and an M-dash
using "---", which allows for nicer line-breaking than "–" and "—".
