Re: Lyx and Windows 10

[Benedict Holland]

You get the privilege of giving money to Microsoft. Also, I think it
prevents that really annoying pop-up saying THIS MIGHT BE UNSAFE RUN RUN
RUN~ OR YOUR COMPUTER WILL CRASH AND DIE HORRIBLY. NEVER TRUST
ANYTHING NOT VERIFIED BY US. Do you wish to install the application anyway?

AFAIK, this is the only benefit. Certification isn't too hard though, but
it costs about $1,000 every 2 years or something for a verisign licence.
This was all about 5 years ago. It might have changed but at work, we
refereed to this as the Microsoft tax.

Hi Chen,

See the answer here. It is written in a general way so that you can
find out how to make shorcuts for many different LyX actions.

Re: how can i set up a shortcut for equation label?

[gadmm]

Dear Chen,

See in Preferences  Keyboard shortcuts. The action is label-insert and 
you can define a shortcut of your choice for it. In your case you will 
find label-copy-as-reference useful too, to later paste the reference.

 Please add info about my script to Lyx.org site. (I know no password
 to upload the files and thus cannot do it myself without your help.)

  From my script:

 # This script receives a list of *.lyx filenames in command line.
 # In each .lyx file it searches for labels consecutively following one
 after another.
 # Then it removes all but the first label and in all supplied .lyx
 files corrects

 # It's useful to remove duplicate labels.

 # Note that this script works with patched pyparsing.py (added

 Very, very nice!

 I love seeing DIY LyX enhancement.


 This would be worth uploading to the LyX wiki.

 Yes, somebody give me LyX.org FTP password, that I could upload.

Reducing space after fullstops?

LyX tends to add spaces after fullstops. It looks a bit excessive

This is the so called French spacing which is common in some languages. Look

See this link

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_sentence_spacing

for the interesting history of spacing between sentences. One snippet:

With the advent of the typewriter in the late 19th century, French and English 
typists adopted approximations of standard spacing practices to fit the 
limitations of the typewriter itself. French typists used a single space 
between sentences, consistent with the typeset French spacing technique, 
whereas English typists used a double space.
• French spacing inserted spaces around most punctuation marks, but 
single-spaced after sentences, colons, and semicolons.[3]
• English spacing removed spaces around most punctuation marks, but 
double-spaced after sentences, colons, and semicolons.[4]
These approximations were taught and used as the standard typing techniques in 
French and English-speaking countries.[5] For example, T. S. Eliot typed rather 
than wrote the manuscript for his classic The Waste Land between 1920 and 1922, 
and used only English spacing throughout: double-spaced sentences.[6]

Historically, French spacing referred to single-spacing between sentences. In 
calling the command that forces this single-spacing \frenchspacing, Knuth was 
following this historical terminology.

On this topic, the typographer's bible, The Elements of Typographic Style by 
Robert Bringhurst, has this to say:

2.1.4  Use a single word space between sentences.
 
In the nineteenth century, which was a dark and inflationary age in typography 
and type design, many compositors were encouraged to stuff extra space between 
sentences.  Generations of twentieth-century typists were then taught to do the 
same, by hitting the spacebar twice after every period.  Your typing as well as 
your typesetting will benefit from unlearning this quaint Victorian habit.  As 
a general rule, no more than a single space is required after a period, a colon 
or any other mark of punctuation.  Larger spaces (e.g., en spaces) are 
themselves punctuation.
The rule is usually altered, however, when setting classical 
Latin and Greek, romanized Sanskrit, phonetics or other kinds of texts in which 
sentences begin with lowercase letters.  In the absences of a capital, a full 
en space (M/2) between sentences will generally be welcome.
