Hello everyone.
I have been using LyX as my LaTeX editor of choice for quite some time
now, and I have found it to be quite helpful. I have also managed to
set up spell checking for both the languages that I am interested in,
English and Greek. However, the way that I currently toggle between
those languages is quite inconvenient. That is, I use Alt + Shift to
toggle between languages (as I usually do), which achieves the
transition from one language to another. However, that's not enough to
get LyX to toggle to the latter language. LyX keeps spell-checking
using the former language. I have to use a second keyboard shortcut to
get LyX to switch languages, as far as spell-checking goes. For
example, I have to use 2 keyboard shortcuts in order to go from
writing English characters with English spell-checking to writing
Greek characters with Greek spell-checking, and vice versa. Obviously,
those are one too many shortcuts.
So, my question is: can LyX be configured so that toggling between
languages is made by one keyboard shortcut, or maybe so that LyX
senses the keyboard layout (GR or US) in use and spell-checks
appropriately?
A single shortcut can do more than one thing, if you use the
command-sequence LFUN. E.g., Ctrl-Alt-A is bound to:
command-sequence buffer-begin ; buffer-end-select
which has the effect of selecting the whole buffer.
See the documentation for command-sequence under Help> LyX Functions.
