Yes, this seems right, and it shouldn't be too difficult. Feel free to
file this as a bug. If you do, please cc me (rgheck). This may not be
terribly difficult.

 The only way I ever found is to define a new "footnote" command and use it
on the heading instead of the normal one. See here:

https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/123762

Basically you add to the Preamble

\makeatletter

\def\myfnt{\ifx\protect\@typeset@protect
\expandafter\footnote\else\expandafter\@gobble\fi}

\makeatother


and then to insert the "footnote" on the heading you use a TeX box (Ctrl-L)
with the command


\myfnt{the heading footnote}


on it. The numbering integrates without problems with normal footnotes,
only on LyX it will look kind of weird. But you can always define a
character style ;)

Ricardo

suppression of footnotes in TOC

[Ekkehart Schlicht]

Hi,

I have footnotes to section headings (that are necessary because some 
sections are taken from earlier articles, and this is explained in those 
footnotes). In the TOC, these footnotes re-appear. It is quite clumsy to 
repress them in those cases by using \section* instead of \section and 
add \addcontentsline{section}{12 sectionname}. It would be very 
convenient to have footnoes to TOC entries omitted by defaultin the TOC.


Thanks!

Paul,

  Yes, that's the problem: Page 3 of the doc notes, "Lightness of the watermark 
text
(1=white, 0=black)." Well, foolish me read it backwards, so the smaller the
fraction the darker rather than lighter. Sigh.

  It works.

If it's not working for you, maybe something else in your document is 
interfering. Might be time for a MWE.

Each time you perform any action that do not have an associated keyboard
shortcut, on LyX's buffer you'll see a command that can be used to set up
one. In the case of "times" operator (in Math mode) the code is

math-insert \times

With this code, go to Tools → Preferences → Edition → Keyboard shortcuts
where you'll be able to create a new keyboard shortcut: just click on New,
type the code on the Function box, click on the keyboard shortcut button
and perform your preferred shortcut. If by accident you select a shortcut
already in use, LyX will warn you: just pick another one.

But remember that on Math mode you just need to type \times and press the
space bar to get the symbol, so maybe you'll not gain that much by setting
a shortcut for such a short instruction :)

Ricardo

You can not create git repository with LyX. You need to do it manually
and then simple git commands will work inside LyX.

If you try to put lyx file under version control in LyX, it will try to
use rcs by default, not git and that's the problem you see ('ci' command
is part of rcs as others already suggested.)
