I am no developer, but it seems to me Christian is right.  If you

Re: Accents in LyX/Mac: mini-buffer work around

2006-12-08 Thread Hellmut Weber
Hi Stefano,
thanks for the hint with the mini-buffer.
I'm working on a PC and couldn't find any access to the mini-buffer.

 I have come to rely on the mini-buffer method: mini-buffer, a, tab,
 select accent with arrow, enter, letter, enter. Cumbersome, but better
 than having ERT every other words  (as when typing French)
Can you please explain how i can activate the mini-buffer to put my
accented character in. I have browsed all the documentation but didn't
find any clue.
Several times a list of all LyX-functions is mentioned to be found in
the reference manual, but this seems not exist any longer.

$ cd /usr/share/lyx/doc
$ grep mini-buffer *

does not give any result ,-(

Do you have any hint for me?

Thanks

Hi Stefano,
after i sent my last message i looked again in the ...lyx/doc directory
and detected the reference manual. It's just not shown by Help.
There i found the command-execute command to access the mini-buffer.

BUT, unfortunately this does not work for me. putting 'accent-circumflex
a' in the minibuffer produces the same strange behaviour of the cursor
in my lyx (seemingly a blank + a somewhat bigger white space) as
entering '^ a' directly.

Trying the same with 'lyx -dbg key' doesn't give more info because what
is inputted in the mini-buffer is not traced by the debug function.

Very sorry ,-(

Hellmut

Re: Accents in LyX/Mac: mini-buffer work around

2006-12-08 Thread Hellmut Weber
Hi Stefano,
thanks for the hint with the mini-buffer.
I'm working on a PC and couldn't find any access to the mini-buffer.

Can you please explain how i can activate the mini-buffer to put my
accented character in. I have browsed all the documentation but didn't
find any clue.
Several times a list of all LyX-functions is mentioned to be found in
the reference manual, but this seems not exist any longer.

$ cd /usr/share/lyx/doc
$ grep mini-buffer *

does not give any result ,-(

Do you have any hint for me?

Thanks

Hellmut

Macro definition not possible (Mini-buffer access)

2002-06-12 Thread Joachim Mispel

Hi,

although lyx 1.2.0 runs relatively smoothly, I just
discovered that I
can't define new math macros. If I click with the mouse on
the mini-
buffer, nothing happens. Does anybody else experienced the
same
problem under RH 6.2? And is there a solution?

Joachim

You have to type M-x (Alt-x) to focus the minibuffer now.

No, I don't know why, either.

I believe that solved the problem of accidentally typing
into the minibuffer instead of the main text. A
problem that has bitten me from time to time, and is no more.
