Hello all. Just getting started with LyX after putting it off for a long
time, and it looks really fantastic. Kudos.
I've been pasting source code (say, in R) into LyX notes (with
Ctrl+Shift+V), and then formatting the notes as LyX-code. This lets me
keep tabs on what code was used to produce

If you select text and try to paste over it, the selection is overwritten
correctly when one uses Ctrl+V, but not when one uses Ctrl+Shift+V.
When I wrote to this list a couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that I was
really enjoying LyX. I have to say, I'm enjoying it even more now. It's
remarkably useful and user-friendly. That said, I have a couple of
suggestions for making it a bit friendlier yet, both in the area of
working with ima

Actually, no, problem still there. The Math manual does render both \mathbf and
\boldsymbol correctly, both in live preview and in PDF. However, in my own
document (with all default document properties) \boldsymbol works but \mathbf
doesn't work in either live preview or PDF.

Whoops. I must've stopped reading that sentence when I got to the
For math equations with instant preview turned on, the equation graphic in LyX
1.6.7 is rendered with some fixed background color (salmon, I think, on Windows)

(yellow). I don't know the details of the preview mechanism, bu
Is there perchance a global setting (or at least a per-document) to make
all program listing insets be left-justified?
Is there any way to make LyX highlight all matches to a Find command?
I'm thinking of something like I-search in Emacs, or "highlight all"
after a search in Firefox.
I'm on Windows 7 with MiKTeX 2.8 and LyX 1.6.7. I ran a MiKTeX update
(using the admin version of MiKTeX Package Manager), and then
reconfigured LyX. Now, every time I run pdflatex from LyX, Windows
prompts me if I want to let MPM to make changes to my system. Very
annoying. Worse, since there
Single-instance support for LyX on Windows has been discussed in the past, but
has anything come of it?

It's only bound to superscript in Math mode, of course. And there, you're
looking for \hat.
Something is really screwy with the references in this simple document
under LyX 1.6.7.
The key sentence should get rendered in PDF (via pdflatex) as

I'm installing 1.6.8 on Windows 7 64-bit for the first time. I want to be able
to upgrade to 2.0 whenever that's out.
I understand there were some issues with MiKTeX 2.9. Have these been ironed
out, or should I get 2.8?
Are there official installers for 64-bit LyX? MiKTeX? Is that even pointles
I'd like to have a program listing, and to be able to insert math in
comments in the listing. Is that possible?
For example,

}
Is there a way to ask "where is this paper already cited in my document"? How
about "is anything by author X already cited in my document"?
Thanks!

And it also doesn't help to find those citations where a person is a first
author, but the paper is not the first one listed in a \cite{}.

This works perfectly. Even better, it interpolates environment variables:

Thanks, that sounds promising, but how do I ask LyX to insert citealt?
