Feature requests: Line-item instant math preview, and indicator for empty math expressions when instant preview is active

Hi, Two feature requests: 1) It would be really useful to be able to right-click a particular math expression and instant-preview it, without turning on instant preview for everything in the LyX preferences. Could an item be added to the right-click menu for math expressions that would enable doi

Building a LyX RPM with desktop shortcuts for Gnome

Hi, I've been building LyX RPMs from the SVN source for a while now, but I don't know how to compile things so that installing the RPM automatically produces a LyX desktop shortcut for Gnome, the way the officially supported RPM package does. What precise additional steps do I need to perform? Th

Feature request: Simple built-in text editor

My LyX documents often have a lot of supporting documents written in plain text: Text classes, layout files, BibTeX database files, and sometimes exported TeX files that I need to edit before compiling. It would be really helpful if I could open these plain-text documents as tabs in LyX, maybe from

Re: LyX construct for LaTeX commands having no arguments

So it presumably wouldn't work so well as a paragraph style. But what about a modified flex inset, by having a new binary option in the InsetLayout block that simply deactivates opening the box in LyX? Jacob On Wed, Jul 27, 2011 at 9:53 PM, Richard Heck wrote: > On 07/27/2011 06:04 P

Re: LyX construct for LaTeX commands having no arguments

It could be as rudimentary as just including an additional binary option UserInput [0/1] in the Style and FlexInset blocks that deactivates text input in LyX for the given construct. Jacob On Wed, Jul 27, 2011 at 5:58 PM, Uwe Stöhr wrote: > Am 27.07.2011 23:17, schrieb Richard Heck: > > > The

LyX construct for LaTeX commands having no arguments

This is probably a trivial question, but I can't seem to find an answer to it anywhere in the documentation or the forums, so I thought maybe it wasn't a feature yet. I have a LaTeX class file that defines a standalone LaTeX command (\makecopyrightpage) that takes no arguments, i.e., no {...} -- i

Command-buffer to macro feature request

Hi, When I select a math-input expression x in LyX, go to the minibuffer, and put in, say, math-delim | |, I get |x|, as desired; that is, math-delim is smart enough to automatically wrap selected math expressions. But if I create a math macro that assigns \absval{} to \left|#1\right|, then going

Feature request: Hide/show notes in PDF export

Feature request: Search & Replace in Math Expressions (or, at least, in View Source)

text-editor is that sometimes the changes I need to make are complicated (sometimes, for example, I need to change a symbol in 90 places out of 100), and being able to see the document in full real-time WYSIWYG would be tremendously helpful.
