Dear Lyx users,
Version 1.61 for Mac OSX seems to no longer have the capability of
selecting by holding down the shift and right or left arrow key.
Was there a reason for this omission? Is there a way to get it back??
There have been some other reports of this. Usually the solution is
to delete your old LyX preferences directory, as the format of bind
files has changed.
If you don't want to delete your old preferences, it may be enough to
do the following:
Go to
"LyX Preferences > Editing > Shortcuts"
and search char-forward-select in the list of commands. You will see
that the shortcut entry is empty. Just add the key combination Shift
+ right arrow in that field. Do the same for char-backward-select.
That should fix the problem.
