It would be interesting to put it on a page titled "The Top 20 Unexpected Behaviors in LyX". That page could be prominently linked to by many other pages. I'm so used to LyX that I long ago forgot the other 19 :-).

Others seem to have been there before as well: https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/8026 Unfortunately, gmane is dead and I couldn't figure out where the mentioned discussion is. But I guess its result just wasn't followed by action. I tried to bump the ticket up again. And there was someone on the list, I think, who had a similar problem when pasting into ERT where joining lines seems to be no good idea either. In general, it seems to me that the default paste should honor the format of the original. And if that isn't desired, "join lines" could be selected. (Mostly there is *some* good idea for why things are as they are but there needs to be adjustment in light of people's actual experiences.)

Ctrl-shift-v pastes with new lines. Ctrl-v pastes without. Caught me out for a while. Cheers, Norm. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

What's the > right way to show a C program file within LyX? Hi Steve, you may insert a Listings inset and configure it to point to your C file. After that you can define the lines you want to show and many more things.

Hi all, I have a C program I want to show in a book.
