Has anybody else experienced these keyboard shortcut issues with the spellchecker sidebar on LyX 2.0???????
Especially any one NOT using the binary found in the PCLinuxOS repository? If it matters: I'm a ‘multi-boot’, ‘multi-Linux Distro’ user. And I use whichever version of LyX is available from the repository of whichever Linux system I'm currently using. I may be a bit too dependent on the various package management systems on my installed distros but most of the time this saves me a lot of dependency headaches. At the moment the only one of my installed Linux that normal system upgrades resulted in LyX 2.0.0 (April 29 2011) is my PCLinuxOS installation. Thus I have no other LyX 2.0 to use to see if the keyboard shortcut issues I've encountered are inherent in LyX 2.0.0, or {I do hope} perhaps they stem from some modifications made by the PCLinuxOS package maintainers. I asked about these issues earlier and got some suggestions, but nobody said that their LyX 2.0 had the same problem. Since most people nowadays are more comfortable with using the mouse as a primary control interface, it is quite possible that more LyX 2.0 users have these keyboard shortcut issues than are aware of it. (simply because they "click" on the buttons rather than typing in the keyboard shortcuts.) The shortcut issues I'm having are: 1) The Alt+D on the "Add" button conflicts with the "Document" pull down menu. To actually add the word to the word list I MUST click on the button with the mouse. 2) The Alt+I on the "Ignore" button conflicts with the "Insert" pull down menu. Again I MUST click... 3) The Alt+F on the "Find next" button conflicts with the "File" pull down menu. Again I MUST click... 3) There does not appear to be any way to use the keyboard to dismiss the sidebars so that the document text can use the entire window/screen width. To ditch the sidebar I MUST click on the little "x" marked button in the upper right hand corner. Note: I can disengage the sidebars focus with escape and edit the document using only the approximately 2/3's of the screen/window width. But I can't make the sidebar go away with the keyboard. And I note: that this is so regardless of whether or not I've selected the "Spellcheck Continuously" setting... If anyone is experiencing symptoms like that with their copy of LyX...
