Keyboard shortcuts

[Moshe Giles Uhrig via lyx-users]

Hello,

I recently downloaded Lyx 2.4.1 and have found some of my keyboard shortcuts 
have been overridden. Notably, I'm unable to redefine the function linked to 
the shortcut "⌘.”. Is there a way I can do this? — my attempts at rewriting the 
function have done nothing; the shortcut just continues to output a “.”, which 
is useless to me.

Nothing. Shortcuts depend on language. OTOH, you can create own shortcuts and 
use them.
(Tools->Preferences->Editing->Shortcuts)
They should be saved in your lyx-userdir/bind/user.bind
Anything there should be valid, independent of language.

Keyboard shortcuts in other languages (layouts)

[Andrey]

Hi!

Lyx keyboard shortcuts don't work when I change my keyboard layout to 
another language.


For example, 'Alt+M, M' is a shortcut for the math mode. When I type in 
English layout, this shortcut gets me a math box. When I switch to 
Russian layout, I get 'ь' typed (in Russian layout letter 'ь' is in 
place of 'm'). I don't have this problem in any other program. For 
example, in Kile shortcut 'Alt+I, P' works regardless of the layout.


What could be done about it?

LyX 2.3.2, Ubuntu 18.04.2, XFCE 4.12

Brilliant! You nailed it. At the top of my user.bind file, I 
originally had this line:


    # Copyright © 2013 by the Editorium. All rights reserved.

I didn't include that in my original posting because the line was 
commented out, so I figured it didn't matter. Not so; LyX evidently 
doesn't like the © character, even in a comment. I removed the 
character, and everything worked perfectly. That's odd, because LyX 
never objected before, but LyX 2.3 does. Maybe it's an encoding issue 
on Windows.


At any rate, thanks again for your help. Problem solved, and I really 
appreciate it. I hope this may be helpful to someone else.



You may be right about it being a Windows issue. I can't reproduce it on 
Linux Mint, even with the copyright symbol in the file. If someone else 
can reproduce it on Windows to confirm that's the problem, we might open 
a bug ticket for it. If nothing else, the error message is misleading.

I'm using LyX 2.3.2 on Windows 10. I recently did a clean install of 
Windows 10 and then reinstalled LyX 2.3.2, along with my customized 
user.bind file. Yesterday was the first time I tried to use LyX since 
then, and that's when I started getting the "unknown function" 
message. The user.bind file has worked just fine in the past.


If I take just one of the commands from the user.bind file, like this one:

command-sequence font-emph

and enter it into LyX's command buffer, it works just fine.

I've tried the user.bind file with LyX 2.3.1-1 as well, and it doesn't 
work there, either.


By the way, I've always reconfigured LyX after installing the 
user.bind file, which I've placed in ~\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.3\ as 
specified under Help > About.


I'm pretty good with LyX, but this one has me stumped.

Well, if you don't need word-lowcase, you could also change the binding 
on Alt-c down to word-lowcase partial. I'm not an emacs user, but I 
suspect that would be more natural for one. Typing in the command buffer 
works, and after doing it once you can recycle it for the rest of the 
session, but you'd have to do it again and again if this was something 
you used often.

I do get 'command disabled' from time to time when using keybindings
and trying to insert, say, a note. These are spurious and clearly
related to some bug crawling around, but I've learnt to live with
them: when it happens, I simply hit the required icon.

Not necessary - following your question, I renamed the .lyx folder,
restarted LyX, tred it: working - removed new .lyx, renamed backup back,
started LyX again, and it is working. No idea what the problem was, but I
will report back if it appears again after some time (which I guess).

Try to use 'ctrl-i i' instead. I haven't seen such issues with

The problem comes when I press i afterwards - so the key sequence is:

Alt-i x i

It should insert i in the ert box, but it opens the menue again.

Inserting inset via menu keyboard shortcuts problem

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

when I insert an inset (e.g. an ERT) via the keyboard using the menu
navigation shortcuts,

ALT-I x

LyX stays in the "menu" navigation mode, i.e. pressing "i" does not insert
an "i" in the ERT inset, but opens the menu again.
I have to click on the text to return to the "normal" text mode.

Am I missing something here?

(Don't tell me about insetring the ERT via CTRL-L - that works, but ERT is
only an example. I am using the menu shortcuts to insert TODO notes)

Would it be possible to return to "normal" text mode after a menu command
has been been executed?

Thanks,

Rainer

It's a Mac feature. (Translation: Macs don't work that way.)

Here's a (very) partial answer. I think that 'buffer-export' requires an 
argument, e.g. 'pdf2' to say what kind of export you want. Maybe that's 
incompatible with just using 'Ctrl-x h' for export?


You could try doing
M-x (should give you a prompt, and then type)
buffer-export pdf2

After getting that to work, you could probably bind a command that does 
the above to a keyboard shortcut. Or ask on the developers list... :-)

Keyboard Shortcuts

[Rich Shepard]

  In ~/.lyx/bind/my.bind (based on emacs) the binding,

\bind "C-d" "char-delete-forward"

works just fine. However, neither

\bind "Delete"  "char-delete-forward"

nor

\bind "Del" "char-delete-forward"

works. I get a playing card spade symbol with those.

  What's strange is that the binding

\bind "C-Delete""word-delete-forward"

works OK.

  What would be the correct way to define the [Del] key so it also invokes
'char-delete-forward'? I did kill the lyx process and reinvoke the
application after making changes, but I'm surprised that they don't work.

You can generate your own keybinding file. 

See Help>Customizing and have a look at the two pre-defined layout variants

  /bind/cua.bind 
and 
  /bind/emacs.bind

which you can copy and modify or (if the modifications are rather small)
import into your custom bindings.

You can publish the result at http://wiki.lyx.org or mail it to the list.

I would like LyX for Mac to follow the design guidelines for Aqua as far as 
keyboard shortcuts go -- perhaps this is a Qt problem(?) I dunno. 

Here is the list of standard keybindings for Aqua:

Hi,
I think the way things are is OK in that one can customize the  
keybindings freely, and also leverage some of the existing bind  
files. What I do is to select a modified version of xemacs.bind as  
the default, but at the end of that file I load some other bind files  
as well, to get math and menu bindings.


The menus in LyX can be accessed by keyboard, using shortcuts that  
are defined in menus.bind (although I recall having to modify some  
things there too, because the Lfunc names were outdated in LyX  
1.5.3)... one thing that's bad about accessing the menus with the  
keyboard is that the drop-down lists open in a "floating" position,  
torn off from the menu bar. Fortunately, on the Mac you can also  
access the menu bar by the system-wide shortcut "Control-F2" (which  
you can in turn customize in the System Preferences).

However, it is controled by the ui files. You can e.g. copy stdmenus.inc
(/usr/share/lyx/ui/stdmenus.inc on my Debian system) to your personal lyx
dir (~/.lyx/ui/stdmenus.inc, say) and modify e.g.

-   Submenu "File|F" "file"
+   Submenu "File" "file"


Some of the Alt- bindings (the visible ones) are realised via
the stdmenus file, while others (invisible ones) are added via menus.bind
(or e.g. /de/menus.bind) So you might have to add bindings disabled in
stdmenus.inc to menus.bind.

I did not find out, how the translation of the ui bindings work - if I
e.g. change

-   Item "Revert to Saved|R" "buffer-reload"
+   Item "Reload from Disk|R" "buffer-reload"

the changed menu entry appears in English also in a German LyX interface.

Look at the mac.bind file. They're all detailed there, and you can  
reconfigure them as you wish by editing this file. Just copy it to  
your local LyX directory and have at it.


Better yet, look at the mac-bind.pdf file that is included with the  
LyX/Mac distribution. Insert footnote is not defined there, but you  
can define it yourself by creating a file with the following:


\bind_file mac.bind

\bind "S-C-F" "footnote-insert"

Put that in ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.5/bind, and select  
that file in LyX > Preferences > User Interface > Bind file. Below I  
have copied the standard keybindings I add to mac.bind. If others  
like them, they can be added to mac.bind as the default for everyone.


Thanks to Bo Peng, LyX 1.6 will have an integrated shortcut editor.  
Go Bo!


Yes -- that will be nice.

Re: keyboard shortcuts

[Tobias Krause]

I mean, I use a lot of shortcut for math symbol, and when I type too 
quickly, I
get a menu (as example, alt-m-f will give alt-f) 


I have a similar problem trying e.g. to insert a footnote via Alt-i f:

   * if I type Alt-i-f too fast it ends up like Alt-f
   * if a type Alt-i f (releasing the two keys as Abdel said) and type
 too fast it end up with a opened insert menu and the character f
 at the current cursor position

Somehow it looks like LyX messes up something when you type to fast ;-(

 Toby

I'd like to support your suggestion very strongly.
That would be a feature I'm looking for already for a long time.
So far my last resort was looking directly into the references document
and the bind files.

There are many such dialogs in different applications. Attached is the

allowed to change the shortcut by tying it.


The same feature is available in MS word 2002 and is very well thought

Also in agreement.  What would work nicely is the approach that a lot of 
games take.  Supply a configuration dialog that lists all the LFUNs (by 
description, not by name), grouped appropriately, along with the current 
binding.  Let the user highlight one to be changed and then type the key 
combo to be assigned to it.  If that combination is already assigned, 
the dialog can pop up a warning and ask for confirmation.

When you use a function from the toolbar, the shortcut appears in the

Aehm...

I have to admit that I never noticed that. I use the toolbar buttons very 
infrequently. Actually, I use it only for those functions for which I did 
not find a keyboard shortcut in the bind file...

I can see the point on point, but not on click :-)

No, seriously. I personally think that LyX is quite well usable via the
keyboard, point is just that most shortcuts are not obvious. Studying
the bind-files was a real eye-opener for me! (For instance, the
possibility to switch the paragraph styles by Alt+P,) However, one
needs at least a bit of hacker attitude to find, read and understand
bind-files. ("What the heck is META?" "How can I find the shortcut for
this-and-that toolbar button?" etc.)

So the problem is not availability of shortcuts, it is making users
aware of them. This is a question of documentation and the willingness
to read it, of course. Nevertheless I really liked the M$-approach of
providing this kind of information "on demand". Whenever the mouse
*points* on a toolbar button or menu entry, a tool-tip (or status bar
message) indicating the corresponding keyboard shortcuts appears.
Thereby I quickly learned the keyboard shortcuts for exactly those
functions I am using most frequently, without having to look them up
between hundreds of other shortcuts in some list or even a bind-file.

It would be really cool to have something like that in LyX! I imagine it
as even not too difficult to implement, even though I am walking on
really thin ice here: AFAIU everything in the GUI is bound to some
LyxFunction -- so are keyboard shortcuts. Hence, it should be possible
to implement a generic way to find and display all related keyboard
shortcuts of some GUI element via the LyxFunction.

Most keyboard shortcuts are dictated by your bind file(s).  Some are set 
directly in the user interface (ui) file, but Ctrl-D in particular comes 
from the bind file.  I can think of two possibilities.  One is that the 
keyboard bind files got lost in the first installation.  The other is 
that Edit->Preferences->Look and feel->User interface->Bind file: did 
not get set (or got set incorrectly) the first time around.


Unless someone can reproduce the problem, there's no way to tell which 
it was, or why it happened.

Put the cursor immediately behind a symbol (say \alpha) and the statues
line will say 'Symbol: alpha'.

If you look in /usr/local/share/lyx/bind you'll find a file math.bind.

too many to list here... See

Help -> Reference Manual -> Chapter 4  Bindings

Section 4.4.4 is probably what you're after.

I really need a list of keyboard shortcuts!

[Stefano Peluchetti]

I have this problem. I can't find what are the keyboard shortcuts of many keys 
of the maths panel. Yes, i know that they should appear in the minubuffer on 
the "status bar" of the mainwindows, but they don't. 
Let me explain.
The problem is that when i click on the maths panel and its mini panels (like 
the one for greek letters) i loose the focus on the main window, and lyx does 
not update the minibuffer in the status bar.
So i can't discover in any way what are the key shortcuts related to the 
button in the maths panel and this is a real pain, as i have to write more 
then 10 pages of math material.
So, i would be VERY glad of anyone who dares to help me or to send me the 
complete list of shortcut!
Thanks a lot! :)

keyboard shortcuts..

[Christian Ridderström]

Hi

I think I know how to define my own shortcuts, but does anybody know of
an easy way to get a list of the currently defined shortcuts? (Except
reading through the .bind-files manually or using a script)

For instance, in Emacs, the command: M-x Helper-describe-bindings
shows a list of keys and what they are bound to?

german keyboard shortcuts

[Chris Schulbert]

Hi!
 
I have configured LyX 1.1.5fix1 to german language. 
(LANG, bind german_menu, etc.). Now Lyx speaks in german to me. BUT: I can't use 
the shortcut-keys for the menus any more. As I am writning on my thesis at the 
moment, it is more than a pain to use the mouse for all the 
menu-actions.
 
In addition, I can't get the acute-charcters to 
work. I've got some french text in my thesis, but all the manual hints didn't 
work for "é" e.g.  The manuals are very 
confusing about that matter. I have tried even to use LaTeX-Code, but Lyx 
complains about that and will not display the .dvi.
 
I have configured my keyboard correctly using 
xkeycaps and xmodmap.
 
My system is SuSE 6.2.
My condition is FRUSTRATED!
 
Maybe anyone can help?
 
 
Regards,
Chris
