IMO, a tool tip will not suffice. I filed a bug report 7 years ago - unfortunately closed after just a partial fix: http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/4971 My revised suggestion would be to have separate variables for inputencoding auto|ascii|... (see lib/encodings) inputencoding-package auto|inputenc|luainputenc|xinputenc inputencoding-mixed True|False and in Document>Settings>Language the GUI elements: * Drop down lists: Language: # no change Quote style: # no change Language package: # no change Encoding: # with entries: Language Default # corresponds to the current radio button ASCII Arabic (CP 1256) ... Western European (Macintosh Roman) Encoding package: automatic inputenc luainputenc xinputenc none * A separate tick-box [x] Mixed encoding # text parts in a different language use the default # encoding of this language How does this correspondent to the current GUI: * The default case (currently radio button) becomes: Encoding: Language default Encoding package: automatic [x] Mixed encoding * The problematic case (currently pre-selected as "Other") becomes: Encoding: Language default Encoding package: none [x] Mixed encoding * Other currently selectable options become: Encoding: <drop-down list entry> Encoding package: automatic [ ] Mixed encoding Advantages: * clarity: the problem of the problematic case is not described in a tooltip but obvious: mixed encoding but no encoding package. * the problematic case is no longer the top case of otherwise sensible alternatives. * new sensible alternatives: - language default document wide encoding (not mixed) Encoding: Language default Encoding package: automatic [ ] Mixed encoding - document wide encoding (not mixed) with "language package == none" Encoding: Language default # or any other list entry Encoding package: none [ ] Mixed encoding Problems: We must prevent the combination: utf8-plain with "mixed" and inputencoding-package other than "auto" or "none".
