Please don't "fix" it... DEPM is already painful as it is. Think about cut&pasting some word. (when you go to cut it, the space gets removed, so then you insert and you have to go back and find the position to re-add it etc...) Spaces at the front are a different matter though, but I thought they cannot be normally entered in the first place. A/

[patch] get rid of selection_possible
This ugly global variable seems to not be needed anymore. The functionality
(as declared in a comment removed in the patch) is nowadays taken care by
the frontends, who only send DRAG events if the PRESS event was inside the
workarea too.
Of course, I might be missing entirely the point ;-)
Tested with qt and xforms, seems to work fine (actually getting rid of it
fixes a bug). Comments?

Basically there's nothing missing, more or less just to sort out which of the two variants Vladimir proposed: regexp searches on a latex-like form of the document (i like this more) or some sort of full blown lyx editor for search expressions (Andre' proposed this). Possibly some combination of the two (I think Andre' also proposed this).

By the way, how to put a button THe interface is a little convoluted. Select the converter on the list, then modify the "Converter" field or whatever, then push the "modify" button. (for some reason, the first element on the list is selected, disregard that). Repeat for each converter you want to modify. Then push the button "Save" on the bottom. If you want to modify a viewer, the procedure is the same. > and keybinding to call a viewer? You have to manually modify a couple of config files: the ui file and the bind file mentioned in preferences->look & feel->User interface. Typically you make a local copy of them (preferably inside .lyx/ui & .lyx/bind) and modify at pleasure. Have a look at http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/LyX/KeyboardShortcuts for keybindings. > Thanks!

You could try to use reLyX (shipped with 1.3.x) for text->lyx conversion but it's not very good. You'll have to polish the output a bit. (there's a replacement being worked in current cvs) An alternative if the text has little or no formatting is to paste text inside your document and then select math chunks and press C-M. Alfredo
[patch] get rid of cached Row::foo_fill
The following is a reworked version of yesterday's patch.
It separates the three foo_fill and row.x from Row into their own struct
RowMetrics. The four of them are used toghether and in three places:
getColumnNearX, getCursorX and rowpainter. These three operations are
user-interaction related and thus costly per se.
Moreover, we should improve initial rebreaking time.
The advantages are:
* reduced row cache size (from 46 bytes to 30 in i386)
* the possibility to compute them on a second step after the whole
rebreaking has been done, fixing most of the obvious rebreaking bugs
present in cvs.
I'd like to apply it if no one objects.

Of course, but at the cost of "wasting" time of different people answering the same on different places because they are unable to see that their answer has already been given.

questions: selection
what's selection.mark() / what's the difference with selection.set()? why the assymetry below (text3.C) -- present in 1.3.x btw : case LFUN_BEGINNINGBUF: if (!selection.mark()) clearSelection(); cursorTop(); finishChange(bv); break; case LFUN_ENDBUF: if (selection.mark()) clearSelection(); cursorBottom(); finishChange(bv); break; why we use set() sometimes and mark() sometimes for something that seems to be the same? (e.g.:) case LFUN_RIGHTSEL: if (!selection.set()) selection.cursor = cursor; if (rtl()) cursorLeft(bv); else cursorRight(bv); finishChange(bv, true); break; Thanks for any answer, Alfredo

The problem seems to be the shell translating $$ to the process id 6499, and leaving the i untouched. I.e., LyX in not translating $$i, but handing the string $$i to dvi2ps. Soren, what happend if you put simply "dvi2ps" instead of "dvi2ps $$i" as the printer command? Alfredo

rowbreakpoint is hosed
I may be reading wrongly the code, but but seems to me that rowbreakpoint
sets row.endpos() to a value larger ny 1 than it should.
I.e. (text.C:LyXText::rowBreakPoint)
if (width < 0) {
row.endpos(pit->size() + 1);
return;
}
or below
pos_type const last = pit->size();
pos_type point = last;
if (pos == last) {
row.endpos(last + 1);
return;
}
There's more evidence that this was on purpose (lyxrow_funcs.C):
pos_type lastPos(Paragraph const & par, Row const & row)
{
if (par.empty())
return 0;
pos_type pos = row.endpos() - 1;
if (pos == par.size())
--pos;
^ this shouldn't be here
return pos;
}
I don't understand what's happening. Shouldn't row.endpos() be par->size()
if the par is small enough? Someone can explain to the thicko here?

Look at Customization.lyx, section 3.3 Bindings. In a nutshell, you'll have to bind the command "self-insert environmental impact assessment" to some key. You achieve this by adding to your bind file a line like: \bind "M-i e" "self-insert environmental impact assessment" Alfredo
[patch] unneeded full rebreak
This patch avoids doing a full rebreak on buffer switching, which is the
reason for the existence of the TextCache.
The removed full rebreak is unneeded: it is done in every case (except from
buffer switching) above in the same function.
The update seems also to be unneeded, as caller functions do it anyways.
The fact that this has gone unnoticed maybe raises a question on the
usefullness of the TextCache?

I think both list are correct, since this seems a bug report/feature request and on the user's list you can expect a workaround. Unfortunately I don't have any idea on how to solve it, as I don't use linuxdoc. You can safely assume that the lack of response is due to lack of knowledge/time, not rudeness...

IMHO a library is responsible of not polluting the global namespace (and qt way of doing that, btw, seems to be adding a 'q' on front of _almost_ every defined object). Not to mention the 'signals' macro defined on qt headers. On an ideal world, I don't see the point of the lyx:: namespace. Regards, Alfredo

Then this hack is no good... your can try directly Juergen's suggestion.
maybe somethig like (using bash, from within the src/ directory, untested):
for x in `grep -l ControlRef {,*/,*/*/}*.{C,h}`; do echo $x; mv $x $x.save;
cat $x.save | sed s/ControlRef/ControlLyXRef/g > $x; done
will do.
(if something fails, original files should have a .save appended)
Hope it helps,
