Re: working with images

That said, I have a couple of suggestions for making it a bit friendlier yet, both in the area of working with images. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm just being dense, and LyX is already capable of doing all this. 1. I like being able to control how images display in LyX separately from how they show up in the output. However, I've found that I often set the two images to the same magnification in both. It'd be nice if it was the default to use the same magnification in both so that I wouldn't have to enter the number twice. you will probably like grouping feature. graphics settings-latex and lyx options-graphics group (user guide, 4.4.2, Grouping of Image settings). 2. It's not easy to view not shown or small-magnification images at full size. I can right-click on an image and edit externally, but I'd rather bind the left-click to a fast internal view command (or a view externally command, and reserve the image properties dialog for the right-click menu. workaround is to change editor of image to your favourite viewer and use edit entry for viewing (i use this for .eps viewing too...) this can be done in preferences-file formats. pavel
Re: agutex layout?
The location is incorrect. Put the agu-ps.sty and agutex.cls to the folder
tex/latex/agutex
Finally execute the command texhash.
Thanks, that works fine.
The TeX system on Linux should be TeXLive and TeXLive comes with a
graphical interface to install LaTeX-packages. So after putting the cls-
and sty-files to tex/latex/agutex you should be able to use the TeXLive
package installer GUI to refresh the filename database of TeXLive.
I checked and I seem to have tetex, though texlive is available. I am using
Mandriva 2010.0.
I have a 25-page article prepared for JGR, I wrote it using article class. I
have run into a few minor problems with the conversion to agutex.
1. Some of the authors have accents in their names, I had written them as {\'a}
etc, but these now appear as blank spaces.
2. 'galley' mode works fine, but in 'draft' mode my figures don't appear;the
float appears with the the path and figure name printed, but no figure.
3. I'm also struggling with the 'Latex error, floats lost' warnings. I have
about 20 figures which previously were embedded in the text, but agutex.layout
wants me to have all the figures at the end. I've read that the way to avoid
the 'floats lost' warning is to put a Clear page every few figures, but do far
this is not working. I have tried New page between every figure and this still
doesn't work.
Apart from these issues the layout file seems to be good.

unary minus
Inserting the following in math mode
[A|-B]
the minus appears as an binary operator rather than a unary operator on B,
so the minus is too big and the space to B is too large.
Using tex code:
[A|{-B}] looks better, although I thing the minus is still too large.
What is the best lyx approach?

This is a bug in the agutex.cls file. Can you please report this to the
agutex developers because the agutex documentation states that it should
work:
http://www.agu.org/pubs/authors/manuscript_tools/journals/latex/spec_chars.shtml#accents
As a workaround you can put the character within a \textrm command as in
the attached example. The result is unfortunately not perfect because
the characters within \textrm will appear a bit too small. (Increasing
the size one leavel leads to too large characters.)
This is another bug of agutex's \authors command.
2. 'galley' mode works fine, but in 'draft' mode my figures don't appear;the

But thats the idea of the draft mode - getting a quick preview of the

That the figures and tables need to be placed at the end is the
guideline of agutex. My layout strictly follows the agutex TeX example file:
ftp://ftp.agu.org/journals/latex/journals/Manuscript-Preparation/agutmpl.tex
But I don't get float errors. I guess this comes from your outdated
LaTeX system.
Apart from these issues the layout file seems to be good.
OK, then I'll add it to LyX.

The braces just shrink the space between the minus sign and B. You can
add them in the math editor by typing \{ (which will create an inset
surrounded by {}).
What is the best lyx approach?
You might try the following key sequence (no spaces, I'm just adding
them for legibility):
\{ ctrl-M - right-arrow B
\{ creates the inset (surrounded by LaTeX braces) to shrink the spacing.
ctrl-M puts you in text mode, so that the minus sign becomes a hyphen
(which is shorter).
The right arrow gets you out of text mode (I assume you want B typeset
in italics) but keeps you inside the braces.

I can generally live with that workaround, especially as it seems to affect not

typing slowness with large documents
I know that this issue has come up several times in the recent past, and that its been off-loaded onto xorg/QT problems. I am experiencing very slow reaction times when typing and deleting, as well as scrolling the document window. I have the latest debian sid installation and everything else works fine. Is there no solution for this, apart from moving to Lyx 2.0 (which is not an option for my large document)? I have each chapter in a branch and I only work with one branch open at a time, but this doesn't help at all. I also have the navigation window closed, and math preview is off. Mateo.

Different bindings for math/non-math?
Hi! I have been using LyX for a while now, and very much enjoying it, but I would really love to be able to set different key bindings for math mode and non-math mode. My main reason for this is that in math mode, I have to use the Ctrl, Meta, and Shift keys so much that its starting to hurt my fingers, and I would like to have keybindings without modifiers (except maybe Shift for capitals) - so insert x would be 'v x' instead of just 'x', integral would be 'i', etc. Obviously, in text mode this would be very irritating, but in math mode, I think I would find it very convenient. Could that be done? Is there some way to automatically switch keybindings upon entering/leaving math mode? Alternatively, is there any way to use a shortcut (or lyx function) to switch key bindings? That would not be quite as convenient, but still a good start... Thanks, Wendell

But I don't get float errors. I guess this comes from your outdated
LaTeX system.
Apart from these issues the layout file seems to be good.
OK, then I'll add it to LyX.

Using tex code:
[A|{-B}] looks better, although I thing the minus is still too large.
The braces just shrink the space between the minus sign and B. You can
add them in the math editor by typing \{ (which will create an inset
surrounded by {}).
What is the best lyx approach?
You might try the following key sequence (no spaces, I'm just adding
them for legibility):
\{ ctrl-M - right-arrow B
\{ creates the inset (surrounded by LaTeX braces) to shrink the spacing.
ctrl-M puts you in text mode, so that the minus sign becomes a hyphen
(which is shorter).
The right arrow gets you out of text mode (I assume you want B typeset
in italics) but keeps you inside the braces.

Workaround is to not use outliner, and switch buffers, and then close one. ;)
I just happened to hit this yesterday because I happened to want (for the first

JUST one buffer instead of the whole program. Of course I ended up getting
whole program shutdown. :)
I can generally live with that workaround, especially as it seems to affect not
very many folks.

typing slowness with large documents
I know that this issue has come up several times in the recent past, and that its been off-loaded onto xorg/QT problems. I am experiencing very slow reaction times when typing and deleting, as well as scrolling the document window. I have the latest debian sid installation and everything else works fine. Is there no solution for this, apart from moving to Lyx 2.0 (which is not an option for my large document)? I have each chapter in a branch and I only work with one branch open at a time, but this doesn't help at all. I also have the navigation window closed, and math preview is off. Mateo.

Different bindings for math/non-math?
Hi! I have been using LyX for a while now, and very much enjoying it, but I would really love to be able to set different key bindings for math mode and non-math mode. My main reason for this is that in math mode, I have to use the Ctrl, Meta, and Shift keys so much that its starting to hurt my fingers, and I would like to have keybindings without modifiers (except maybe Shift for capitals) - so insert x would be 'v x' instead of just 'x', integral would be 'i', etc. Obviously, in text mode this would be very irritating, but in math mode, I think I would find it very convenient. Could that be done? Is there some way to automatically switch keybindings upon entering/leaving math mode? Alternatively, is there any way to use a shortcut (or lyx function) to switch key bindings? That would not be quite as convenient, but still a good start... Thanks, Wendell

I checked and I seem to have tetex, though texlive is available. I am using
Mandriva 2010.0.
I have a 25-page article prepared for JGR, I wrote it using article class. I
have run into a few minor problems with the conversion to agutex.
1. Some of the authors have accents in their names, I had written them as {\'a}
etc, but these now appear as blank spaces.
2. 'galley' mode works fine, but in 'draft' mode my figures don't appear;the
float appears with the the path and figure name printed, but no figure.
3. I'm also struggling with the 'Latex error, floats lost' warnings. I have
about 20 figures which previously were embedded in the text, but agutex.layout
wants me to have all the figures at the end. I've read that the way to avoid
the 'floats lost' warning is to put a Clear page every few figures, but do far
this is not working. I have tried New page between every figure and this still
doesn't work.
Apart from these issues the layout file seems to be good.

unary minus
Inserting the following in math mode
[A|-B]
the minus appears as an binary operator rather than a unary operator on B,
so the minus is too big and the space to B is too large.

1. Some of the authors have accents in their names, I had written them as {\'a}

This is a bug in the agutex.cls file. Can you please report this to the
agutex developers because the agutex documentation states that it should
work:
http://www.agu.org/pubs/authors/manuscript_tools/journals/latex/spec_chars.shtml#accents
As a workaround you can put the character within a \textrm command as in
the attached example. The result is unfortunately not perfect because
the characters within \textrm will appear a bit too small. (Increasing
the size one leavel leads to too large characters.)
This is another bug of agutex's \authors command.

That the figures and tables need to be placed at the end is the
guideline of agutex. My layout strictly follows the agutex TeX example file:
ftp://ftp.agu.org/journals/latex/journals/Manuscript-Preparation/agutmpl.tex
But I don't get float errors. I guess this comes from your outdated
LaTeX system.
Apart from these issues the layout file seems to be good.
OK, then I'll add it to LyX.

The braces just shrink the space between the minus sign and B. You can

You might try the following key sequence (no spaces, I'm just adding

Horizontal space popup
Hi LyXers! Is it possible to disable the "Horizontal space" popup that appears every time I left-click on such a space in a document? If find that it often appears when I try to click between a spacer and a character, and can be quite disruptive since it happens often. -Torquil

Workaround is to not use outliner, and switch buffers, and then close one. ;)
I just happened to hit this yesterday because I happened to want (for the first
time :) to close
JUST one buffer instead of the whole program. Of course I ended up getting
whole program shutdown. :)
I can generally live with that workaround, especially as it seems to affect not
very many folks.
Thanks again.

If find that it often appears when I try to click between a spacer and a character, and can be quite disruptive since it happens often. The context menu is defined in the stdcontext.inc menu definition file, which (on Linux) you would find somewhere like: /usr/share/lyx/ui/ You can copy this to your user directory, e.g.: /home/you/.lyx/ui/stdcontext.inc and then remove the definition for the context-space menu.

typing slowness with large documents
I know that this issue has come up several times in the recent past, and that its been off-loaded onto xorg/QT problems. I am experiencing very slow reaction times when typing and deleting, as well as scrolling the document window. I have the latest debian sid installation and everything else works fine. Is there no solution for this, apart from moving to Lyx 2.0 (which is not an option for my large document)? I have each chapter in a branch and I only work with one branch open at a time, but this doesn't help at all. I also have the navigation window closed, and math preview is off. Mateo.

I'm not sure it's fair to say it's been "off-loaded" somewhere else. If that is in fact the problem, then there is nothing we can do about it. Is there no solution for this, apart from moving to Lyx 2.0 (which is not an option for my large document)? Why wouldn't that be an option? I mean, we don't recommend 2.0 for serious work now, but size of document isn't a factor. rh
Different bindings for math/non-math?
Hi! I have been using LyX for a while now, and very much enjoying it, but I would really love to be able to set different key bindings for math mode and non-math mode. My main reason for this is that in math mode, I have to use the Ctrl, Meta, and Shift keys so much that its starting to hurt my fingers, and I would like to have keybindings without modifiers (except maybe Shift for capitals) - so insert x would be 'v x' instead of just 'x', integral would be 'i', etc. Obviously, in text mode this would be very irritating, but in math mode, I think I would find it very convenient. Could that be done? Is there some way to automatically switch keybindings upon entering/leaving math mode? Alternatively, is there any way to use a shortcut (or lyx function) to switch key bindings? That would not be quite as convenient, but still a good start... Thanks, Wendell
