Hello all,
I've been using LyX for about a year now and wanted to share a couple
ideas of things that have irritated me that could be improved.
1. Is there a trick to match "" quotes in a search-replace operation?
I've tried both "" and ``'' The latter of which is the result of copying
the quotes from inside the document into the search box. Seems that ""
should match the `` '' quotes in the document.
Not yet. The problem here is that quotes aren't just text. They're a
quote "inset", like a footnote, and they can be displayed in different
ways in different languages. There are (halting) efforts under way to
improve search and replace generally, and any efforts in that direction
will include quotes.
2. Word count could use some improvement:
a. Have new GUI which allows you to control the word-count. This would
include options for including the words in "notes" or not, or to count
the words in the whole master document, or just the current document.
Something along these lines seems about to happen in svn. A recent
commit makes it trivial to omit notes, and in general anything that
doesn't produce output, from the word count. Someone just has to do it.
