space between paragraphs
A little but enoying presentation problem: I used the H parameter to specifiy the position of the floatting figures in my document. Lyx places the figures as I demand it but does not move the text around it, so I've got some pages with a lot of space between paragraphs because de figure is to big to appear in this given page.

Qt?

I'm writing some docs which occasionally direct the user to do something (ls -l) and having trouble marking it as a command. I select text, click the Font button in the toolbar, and nothing happens. I can go to Layout - Character - Font to set it, but that's really inconvenient and I'm guessing this Font button is supposed to actually do something. Any suggestions? The font button on the toolbar applies the font changes that were selected in the dialog. So for the first time, you need to open the dialog and select typewriter font and press apply, and afterwards you just need to press the toolbar button.

Everybody should move to xforms. Aaargh! xforms was fine in its time, when all UNIX interfaces were pretty ugly and a lot of us were still using B/W monitors, but that time has passed. We have Qt, GTK and XUL now, and changing from one of those to xforms is like travelling from a pretty village to an industrial estate. The only thing to be said in favour of using LyX with xforms is the feeling you get when you do the xdvi preview - that something so ugly could produce something so beautiful.

I'm writing some docs which occasionally direct the user to do something (ls -l) and having trouble marking it as a command. I select text, click the Font button in the toolbar, and nothing happens. I can go to Layout - Character - Font to set it, but that's really inconvenient and I'm guessing this Font button is supposed to actually do something. Any suggestions? The font button on the toolbar applies the font changes that were selected in the dialog. So for the first time, you need to open the dialog and select typewriter font and press apply, and afterwards you just need to press the toolbar button.

space between paragraphs
A little but enoying presentation problem: I used the H parameter to specifiy the position of the floatting figures in my document. Lyx places the figures as I demand it but does not move the text around it, so I've got some pages with a lot of space between paragraphs because de figure is to big to appear in this given page.

[H] means "put it right between these two characters, damn it!" and it did exactly that. If you want it to fill in the blank space, you have to let it float! Try using [htp]. That means "put it right between these two characters, if you can. Otherwise, put it at the top of the next page, or on a separate page if it is too large." That sounds more like what you meant.

You can use sed/perl to do the conversion. Another option is to add latex commands that will redefine all floats to be floatingfigure: \renewenvironment{figure}[1][] {\begin{floatingfigure}{0.50\columnwidth}} {\end{floatingfigure}}
