OK, this is a different feature. You can add a further enhancement
request but I fear that no developer will implement this soon.
I don't think layouts control the sidebar, right?
Yes.
The red arrow button jumps t the last cursor position.
LyX supports 100 undo steps (accessible via shortcut Ctrl+z or the
green, rounded, left-pointing arrow).
I want the cursor to jump to last edits (say at least 10) without having
to undo things.
OK, tis is not yet possible.
Imagine you want to keep a snippet you found online. you copy
it. when
pasting it in lyx, it will add a little note with the url it
came from, and
the time it was collected. This is a killer feature for
notetaking/research.
So what do you miss exactly? LyX has support for hyperlinks (to
URLs, files, mail addresses).
Yes, as described above, I wanted something that would add the url to
the clipboard contents. That ff plugin does it. I wish it existed for
chromium, though, and that urls pasted became clickable...
I still don't understand exactly what you mean. I don't know an "ff"
plugin nor chromium.
If you copy text that contains an URL like this sentence:
Hello, http://www.lyx.org is cool.
and paste it into LyX, you only have to highlight the URL in LyX and
press the hyperlink toolbar button. This creates a clickable hyperlink.
The hyperlink cannot be opened from within LyX but from the preview. We
had a discussion about this and if I remember correctly, we decided to
do this because of security reasons. While thinking about this, it
doesn't make much sense because you already can open external material
like images from within LyX.
Can you therefore ask on the lyx-devel mailing list if LyX could allow
to open hyperlinks also from within LyX. Implementing this should be
easy but i want to hear some other opinions first.
thanks and regards
