LyX v2.4 RC4 - keyboard shortcut

[Bernt Lie via lyx-users]

I just discovered the “character” shortcuts Alt + C…, e.g., Alt + C R for 
mathroman in math.



  *   I’m a touch typist, so I prefer to use keyboard shortcuts over menus
  *   I’m not a pianist, so I don’t have extremely independent movement of 
fingers
  *   Because the “Alt” key is on the lefthand side of the keyboard and the “C” 
 key also is on the lefthand side, this makes it very awkward to hold down the 
Alt key and at the same time hold down the C key.
  *   This difficulty is increased by that the Alt key should be hit with the 
*middle finger* (which must be bent in an awkward way to hit the Alt key). The 
problem is much less pronounced with the Ctrl key, which is hit with the pinkie.



Probably not a popular suggestion, but it would be much simpler to use Alt with 
a key on the righthand side of the keyboard, e.g., replacing Alt+C with Alt+K.

Folsk,

To find the command needed, use View -> Messages Pane, and then insert the
cross-reference label manually.  You should see `dialog-show-new-inset ref`
appear in the Messages pane.  This is the command that you need to add to
the shortcut's Function specification when you go to Preferences -> Editing
-> Shortcuts -> New.

Hope this helps,
Joel

Insert cross-reference shortcut

[Folsk Pratima]

You can make a shortcut for inserting a label, but I did not find a way
to do it for inserting a cross-reference, so every time I have to use
mouse to click on the toolbar.

Any suggestions?

As a background: In LyX 2.4, the Command+E shortcut is currently 
assigned to set the search string on macOS. (A feature of macOS 
that some applications support but I was unaware of previously 
and I know no one else who uses it. I guess that is generally 
true and why it took so long until someone came up with 
introducing it in LyX.)

Looks like no one came up with a similarly good shortcut as the 
old one. That might not be too surprising. Unfortunately, it will 
leave macOS users in the dust with the next major version.


I myself tend to set Ctrl-I for emphasis, which is what most 
applications use. Of course, they mean "Italic", not emphasis, but 
it's what I'm used to.


Riki


Interesting. And I like the idea of having cross-application 
shortcuts. However, on macOS Cmd-I is "inset-toggle". Is it not used 
for that on Linux by default?


Yes, but I changed it locally long ago. I think the current 
assignment is mostly historical.


Riki


Would you mind sending me your user.bind file?


Attached. I think some of these are probably out of date, actually.

Riki


Thanks. Okay, I see that you just switched inset-toggle and font-emph.

Unfortunately, LyX 2.4 on macOS was changed to have a not well-known 
(and documented) macOS specific "copy feature" on Cmd+E, so this would 
not work either straight away... (I tried to argue against changing 
Cmd+E on macOS but didn't succeed on my own.)


I never use the inset-toggle shortcut and maybe it is less commonly used 
than emphasis? So, maybe at least on macOS, inset-toggle could be 
changed to Cmd+Shift+E? Not ideal. But maybe better than the other way 
around. And on other systems Cmd+E and Cmd+I could be switched in order 
for people to be able to easily switch between systems. This is all a 
mayor annoyance since people will be used to these shortcuts.

Couldn’t wait! I downloaded the latest MacOS beta and have already bound 
shortcuts to tab-group-next and tab-group-previous, thanks! (I expect that, as 
usual, Kali Linux will be updated promptly to 2.4 once it is out of beta.)

Yes, I was referring to lyx2.4, sorry. Since it will be available shortly, you 
may want
to wait a little?

Shortcut to switch panes?

[Christopher Menzel]

Estimable LyX folk,

The answer seems to be “no” but: is it possible to set up a keyboard shortcut 
that, when one has split a window into two panes (“views” in LyX-speak), will 
make the inactive pane active so that one can easily switch from one pane to 
the other? "Ctrl-X O" does this in emacs and it’s a real timesaver, as one 
doesn’t have to lift one’s hand off the keyboard, move the mouse cursor to the 
inactive pane, click, and move one’s hand back to the keyboard. I am almost 
always working with a split window and I jump between panes frequently, so this 
would really be a huge convenience.

Thanks!

There is a problem with the path to default.def.

The use of this file does not consider the 'userdir' option.

Re: Create a shortcut to insert the frames separator for beamer documents

I know how to create shortcuts, I just don't know the name of the 
"function" that actually inserts this red line.


In the lyx file this red line is called "Separator plain".

If you really think of it, I don't know the function name because I also 
don't know how to insert it from the menus, so you are welcome to tell 
me how to do that as well.


I think it depends on your LyX version where to find the menu entry.

It used to be possible to insert a separator from the "Edit" menu.

In recent versions it was replaced by menus called "Separated Frame 
Above" and "Separated Frame Below" in the "Insert" menu. It is already 
bound to the Alt+P Alt+Return and Alt+P Return, respectively.


You can see the function by opening the Messages Pane (View menu) and 
executing the function. Spoiler ahead! It is


command-alternatives environment-split ; environment-split previous

The menu entries disappear when the Standard environment is used. I 
guess it would be better to show them at all times but gray them out 
when not accessible. In that way the user gets accustomed to that there 
are such menu entries and where those menu entries are. Also, for some 
reason when you are in the "Frame Title" inset, then the command 
disappears. I guess it would be better to make it accessible in that 
case or at least only gray it out.


(I made the suggestion elsewhere that these separators should be 
disbanded and instead frame content should be distinguished from 
non-content by indentation. But it is yet to be seen whether this works 
and will be taken up by the developers.)

Hello.

There is much quicker way to find names of the commands than to search
the documentation. You can open Messages pane (View – Messages pane) and
do whatever action you want. The name of the command of that action will
be written in the pane and after that you can create shortcut for it. It
is my usual way in creating shortcuts.

Shortcut for cropped PDF?

Howdy LyX folk,

Simple question. When I’m working on my laptop (or frankly anything short of a 
27” monitor) I display my documents use PDF (cropped) to strip away unneeded 
marginal whitespace. Is there a way to set up a keyboard shortcut to update my 
cropped PDFs? Something that will trigger the action I get by selecting “Update 
PDF (cropped)” from the little “recycle” icon? The only shortcut function that 
seems to work for updating is “pdf2” and that produces a full-size PDF. I’ve

[tush via lyx-users]

I want to insert with a keyboard shortcut a special character that I use a lot 
in my document. Until now it was saved in my system clipboard and I would just 
paste it wherever I wanted, but I want to use a keyboard shortcut for that.

For example, I want to insert this symbol: № (Unicode U+2116 or  in 
html).

How can I do it?

I tried to do it as seen in the attached picture but LyX gives the message 
Unknown or invalid LyX function.--

You can bind keys to the functions "inset-begin" (positions the cursor 
before the first character in the inset) and "inset-end" (positions 
the cursor after the last character in the inset). In both cases, the 
cursor remains within the inset.


To exit the inset, you can use "command-sequence inset-end; 
char-forward;".


Paul


But there's a catch with using inset-end or inset-begin like this to 
move out of the inset. If the cursor is at the end of the inset already 
then "command-sequence inset-end; char-forward;" will take you to the 
end of an enclosing inset if there is one, or to the end of your 
document if there is not, which can be disconcerting if all you want to 
do is position the cursor immediately after the inset.


command-sequence line-begin; inset-end; char-right;

takes care of the case when the cursor is already at the end of the 
inset (but still produces the big jump to the end of the document if the 
inset is empty).

Huh, weird. I just checked this out on my Linux laptop and selecting the Emacs 
keybindings (Tools → Preferences → Shortcuts → Bind file) gives me the 
Ctrl-a/Ctrl-e behavior noted inside an ERT frame.

Ah, you know what? Ctrl and Cmd are all turned around for me on the Mac. Try 
using Cmd-a and Cmd-e instead! (I had to go into the Shortcuts and explicitly 
assign the functions in question to Ctrl- characters instead of Cmd- 
to get Emacs bindings to work correctly.) I suspect there was a more global way 
to do this in one fell swoop, but I couldn't figure out any other way to do it; 
and it works. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But if all you want is some keystroke to get the cursor 
movement you want, you can just use the Cmd- bindings noted.

Thanks for the reply!  Unfortunately, no luck.

I have been using the mac keybindings, plus some customizations.  
Unfortunately, neither with the mac keybindings nor when I change to the emacs 
keybindings (I was hoping to get the code that way) do I see these actions.  
With the mac keybindings, ctrl-e takes me to the end of the on-screen line, but 
not the end of the frame.  Ctrl-a alone seems to do nothing except display "^a 
options" on the status bar at the bottom.  With the emacs keybindings, both 
ctrl-a and ctrl-e yield "unknown function".


Ctrl-o closes the frame and places the cursor to its immediate left; that 
behavior is definitely due to my choice of Emacs keybindings.

For me, Ctrl-a and Ctrl-e move the cursor in an ERT frame to the first and
last characters of the frame, respectively. However, I'm not sure if this
is because I'm using Emacs keybindings or because I'm using a Mac, which

shortcut for going to edge of ERT frame?

Is there any way to program a key so that if you are typing within an ERT 
frame, it takes the cursor to the last (or first) character in that frame?  

Also useful would be a way to exit the frame — landing at at the first non-ERT

Hi Barış,

I don't know if it's possible to use that particular key sequence for the 
shortcut. I tried and it doesn't work for me. In case it's still helpful, I can 
tell how to use a different key sequence.

First let's make sure we get the command-sequence that you want. The general 
way to do this is written up step-by-step here:

http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/208510/lyx-commands-to-insert-wysiwyg-horizontal-line-for-keyboard-shortcut/208531#208531

I think the command-sequence you want is the following:

  command-sequence font-emph; self-insert i.e.; font-emph

Copy that command-sequence line (starting with "command-sequence" and ending 
with the second "font-emph"), then in LyX go to Tools > Preferences > Editing > 
Shortcuts. Then click on "New". In the box "Function", paste the 
command-sequence. Then click on the blank rectangle and then press the key 
sequence you want (unfortunately I think your ideal sequence doesn't work). 
Then press "OK".

I'm sorry I couldn't figure out how to do it with "Ctrl+i+e". It did work for 
me with "Ctrl + ;".

Best,
Scott

Not intended but I found no way to refocus the widget. But you can
check "Wrap" in the search widget to automatically start from
beginning. This avoids focus of work area.

That is working. I'll check wrap constantly.

Can you report whether you can build master sucesfully with Autoconf 2.71?
You can use the attached patch (or change manually those lines in autogen.sh).

We will bump the version once we have some report that it works.




Yes, I just builded master successfully with these changes.

I checked new find – it's much more comfortable than previous! One thing – 
after reaching end and continuing search from beginning by Enter active is not 
search area but text area, so hitting Enter deletes matched word and creates 
new paragraph in that place.

activate another split view window by shortcut

[V K]

Hello.

Lyx has quite big good capabilities for working only with keyboard. But using 
split windows force user to use mouse to switch windows. That ruins keyboard 
navigation. User have to click another window with mouse to switch. It would be 
much more comfortable to switch active windows by using a keyboard shortcut. 
Maybe there is one, but I didn't find.
It is particularly annoying that cursor moves to place that was clicked in 
second window, but often user need position that cursor had before click. 

There were such requests before but I didn't find ticket in trac:​
https://latex.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22926 ​
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/358537/is-there-a-shortcut-in-lyx-to-type-in-another-split-view
  

I created a ticket #12115

Happy sailing to version 2.4

Valdemaras

P. S. I can't compile lyx master in Manjaro (Arch derivative) anymore because 
of autoconf versions:

Using autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.71 
This autoconf version is not supported by LyX. 
LyX only supports autoconf 2.65-2.69.

You don't need the "command-sequence" part. That's only useful when you
want to chain a sequence of commands together.

Creating custom shortcut for cross-referencing

[Hung-Tzu Chang]

Hi,

I would like to ask about how to create custom keyboard shortcut for the
"Insert | Cross-Reference" function in LyX. I searched through the list in
Preferences->Editing->Shortcuts and couldn't find the corresponding item
for such function. I also searched through the LyX bind folder for the
program and found the function "reference-insert" in the file "aqua.bind".
However, the function "reference-insert" cannot be found in the preference
menu. Manually adding the "reference-insert" line to the bind file
user.bind in the .config folder doesn't work. The LyX version in question
is 2.3.3 (both Windows and Mac).

Thank you and happy new year!

Best,
Hung-Tzu

Most LFUNs do get reported there (including this one), but not all. For
more info, you can also look at the messages pane, and active "action".

I'll just add that, if you want to do a number of things in a row, then
you will want to use the "command-sequence" LFUN, which lets you string
things together. You could use this e.g. to insert a custom item and
then move the cursor outside it:

    command-sequence argument-insert item:1; char-forward

If you're often going to leave the item blank, then this may make sense.

Oh, and I'll also add, though you may already know this (others may
not): You can test these before assigning them to keystrokes by opening
the Command Buffer (View> Toolbars> Command Buffer, or Meta-x or Alt-x
as a shortcut) and entering the LFUN stuff there.

When you insert something from menu, look at LyX's status bar: there you'll
see a command (argument-insert item:1). With that code you can now create a
custom keyboard shortcut, just write the code on the Function box (without
the brackets).

You have a list of all "LyX Functions" at Help → LyX Functions.

Hi Riki,

Attached is an MWE together with the PDF it generates.  Bullet points 2-4 are 
not visible on the PDF slides because of the Custom Item insert with nothing

Keyboard shortcut for inserting custom item while using Beamer

[Shieh, Sanford]

Hi,

I find myself inserting blank custom items a lot while using Beamer, and so 
would like to have a keyboard shortcut for that.  As far as I can tell, there's 
no LyX function that does that, so I can't bind a key sequence to it.  Is there 
some other method that might work?

I tested it at my end (using " pdf2") and it worked. In the list of file

"PDF (pdflatex)". That's a LyX default, not something I screwed with.

Same one mine, but that's not the key bit. And, in hindsight, it's 
possible I gave you the way to export to the wrong format.


Under Tools > Preferences > File Handling > File formats, click on the 
Format select box at the top and scroll to "LaTeX (pdflatex)". I suspect 
that under "Short name" you have "pdflatex", as I do. Now switch the 
select box to "PDF (pdflatex)", and I suspect the short name is now 
"pdf2". At least it is on my systems.


So I gave you the shortcut to export the buffer as a PDF file, compiled 
using pdflatex, which might not be what you had in mind. What worked for 
you should be producing a LaTeX source file compatible with pdflatex. If 
that's what you want, dandy. The expression of confusion by LyX when you 
used "pdf2" suggests that maybe it doesn't know how to compile to PDF 
using pdflatex (converter not specified, didn't find pdflatex on your 
system, finds pdflatex morally objectionable, thinks it's a Russian 
plot/Chinese hoax/SNL skit, ...).

You’re welcome.

The procedure of binding an arbitrary key to a command (sequence) is part of

Hi Chen,

See the answer here. It is written in a general way so that you can
find out how to make shorcuts for many different LyX actions.

Re: how can i set up a shortcut for equation label?

[gadmm]

Dear Chen,

See in Preferences  Keyboard shortcuts. The action is label-insert and 
you can define a shortcut of your choice for it. In your case you will 
find label-copy-as-reference useful too, to later paste the reference.

Re: how can i set up a shortcut for equation label?

[gadmm]

Dear Chen,

See in Preferences > Keyboard shortcuts. The action is label-insert and 
you can define a shortcut of your choice for it. In your case you will 
find label-copy-as-reference useful too, to later paste the reference.

Shortcuts not working, shortcut bar not visible

[Tobias]

Hi lyx-users,

When I saw some other people using LyX, they had a bar / line below the
document which showed for every click / action the made the
corresponding shortcut which would have caused the same action.
Unfortunately I don't see such a bar when running LyX. Where can I make
it visible?

Furthermore, I am not able to use shortcuts in general. I followed the
advice here [1]: M-p (alt-p) followed by a space opens the environment
list, but pressing alt-p just prints a p in the document.

OS: Lubuntu 14.04
Lyx: 2.0.6

It would be great if you could help me.

Hi Scott,

thanks for your help!

 Consider upgrading LyX using the PPA:
 http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXOnUbuntu#toc3

This did the trick for me, the shortcut bar appeared.
Looking at the shortcut bar I noticed that I have to press ALT + a +
whitespace instead of ALT + p + whitespace.

Keyboard shortcut for unicode input not working

[William Furnass]

I'm running LyX v2.06 on Linux Mint 16.  In other applications I can
enter a unicode character using ctrl-shift-u then the code point.
However, I'm unable to do this in LyX, even if I explicitly bind
'unicode-input' to ctrl-shift-u in the preferences (results in '\bind
C-S-u unicode-insert' being added to .lyx/bind/user.bind).

Anyone got any ideas why this isn't working?  I know I can enter
unicode using alt-x then typing 'unicode-input codepoint' in the
input box that appears at the bottom of the main window but this is
rather cumbersome.

Regards,

Will
