Try this piece of code (stolen from the french LaTeX FAQ) in the preamble.
Then \doitemsep \noitemsep in TeX mode toggles between spacing
and no spacing in lists.

I thing this is notso easy, because you must program your our bst-file.
I have a bst-file which cites in the way you intend (at least the
[Alp99]). But I don't know if the bibliography is the way you want.
I just have attached the bst-file, called myown.bst
If you know the bst-language, I think you can create whatever
bibliography, with whatever you like cites, but you have to handle every
single type of citation,so this is pretty much work.

Re: word-delete-forward and punctuation marks
Hello, as of 1.0pre7, word-delete-forward does not delete punctuation after the word. It should be possible to modify word-forward in that sense too. Can I submit a patch?

Two comments about this discussion (rather bibTeX/LaTeX than LyX-oriented,
I'm afraid).
1/ I think it's better to look for a convenient bst file (and the style
which fits to get the right stuff in the text) than try to
hack the bsts. Seems that natbib does a pretty good job on that
(probably among a lot of others).
A catalogs of bsts and the corresponding result on a database
would be useful, and maybe exist.
2/ As for french citation of first names, the adequation of the
citation style in not so simple as having a non-english bst
for a non-english language, keeping the same bibtex database,
when there are french and english citations in the same bibliography.
My personal feeling is that you will need a french citation style
for french citations and an english citation style for english citations.
That means that the citation type should be different
(@RapTech for @TechReport for example).
I understand that this raises some problems however, and an automatic
recognition of a language field should be perhaps better.

Using private colormap" whenever I start lyx. Close all other applications (except xterm windows) and then start LyX in order to offer LyX to choose from the whole palette of colours. Or upgrade your Xwindows to more than 256 colours. Most of the other applications are more forgiving with shared colours. An exception is netscape: While LyX is running you should start it with a special option: "netscape -install" in order to force it to use a well designed private colour map.

We should probably make new common functions to find previous and next words and use that in all word-related functions. Maybe for 1.0.1. In any case, if you can provide a patch to unify word function, it would be nice.

AMS with german words
Hi everybody! I'm learning to use the AMS layout-style. Because I've to write my mathematical papers in german I set the language to german. For example the word "Proof" is replaced correctly with "Beweis". But other words like "Example, Theorem..." are not replaced. Why that? Is there a way to replace all words?
