Re: Lyx and Windows 10
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.

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

It is written in a general way so that you can find out how to make shorcuts for many different LyX actions. http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/208510/lyx-commands-to-insert-wysiwyg-horizontal-line-for-keyboard-shortcut/208531#208531 Best, Scott

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. Bruce

Reducing space after fullstops?
LyX tends to add spaces after fullstops. It looks a bit excessive sometimes. How do I reduce/avoid this pls? FN -- P +91-832-2409490 M 9822122436 Twitter: @fn Facebook: fredericknoronha Goa,1556 Shared Content at archive.org https://archive.org/details/goa1556
