Hi all,
In no special order, things that I miss in lyx...
1. incremental search
That'd be nice, sure.
2. sentence autocapitalization
Can you specify a way to do this *correctly*, without having the
computer make lots of mistakes?
Word has botched this completely - and it degrades the correspondence I
get. (I know how to turn such things off, most people doesn't even know
that it can be turned off.) I get letters where the word "I" is
capitalized, which is wrong when the language isn't english, for example.
3. grammar check (not crucial)
Doable - do you know an open-source grammar checker we could use? LyX
already use external programs for spellchecking. . .
4. search highlight occurences
For the incremental search, I guess?
6. edit history (go back to last edits). We seem to have only one step back?
Not sure what you mean here. You can "undo" much more than one step. All
the way back to the state when the file was loaded into LyX, I believe.
7. the rest of the world operates on rich text/html. LyX doesn't (clipboard
integration is poor, copy-pasting from/to web loses formatting)
LyX does not use "rich text" internally. It uses a very different
format. I don't think a perfect converter can be made. Still, it might
be possible to make a decent converter for common cases. If someone is
interested in doing it, that is.
8. 'pasted from' and url for every paste from the web (onenote uses this and
it's damn inspired)
Might be useful. Can this information be fetched from the clipboard? Or
how would LyX get this data? Inserting a note or comment with the URL
wouldn't be hard to code, but how to get it in the first place?
