keyboard bindings colliding?
hi all, i am using lyx 1.1.6 in the german localization. i just discovered that the combination "M-a d", which formerly gave me the "description" paragraph style now produces a DVI, just like "C-d" does. i tried to override it in the *.bind files, but it does not work. each time i type "M-a" the view menu (in german A|nzeigen) pops up. what can i do? thx in advance thorsten Thorsten Mika mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hamm / GermanyTM5173-RIPE

Don't be afraid to make some > suggestions or send in a patch. i really do not complain, i love lyx, but this behavior is new in 1.1.6. someone changed the de.po file. in the former versions M-a used to select the paragraph style, so i do not really want a new feature, but just what i am used to (i am *so* lazy) thorsten Thorsten Mika mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hamm / GermanyTM5173-RIPE

I can't remember if XForms allows this or not. Usually it expects > the 'V' to match a letter in menu entry. Try it. it works. i changed the $LYXSRCDIR/po/de.po file in line 686. i replaced "Anzeigen|A" with "Anzeigen|V". this seems to free M-a again so i can bind it to paragraph style in my bind-file and i can access the "Anzeigen" menu with M-v like in the english version. thx for the hint, allan. > > Oh, not just one or two entries.

So you aren't the only one ;-) do you know about any reason for this change? have i missed something in the docs? thorsten Thorsten Mika mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hamm / GermanyTM5173-RIPE
double quotes are displayed as ">>"
hi again, there is another problem of which i do not know whether it is xfs-related or a lyx problem. since upgrading, lyx sometimes displays the "french" quotes as two "greater" signs, i.e. >> instead of the character lyx 1.1.2 used, which was correct. strange thing: sometimes it works, esp. after changing the display font for standard text, sometimes it does not. any idea? i am sorry, but i cannot really reprodzue this "bug". my setup: Xsun and Solaris xfs. thorsten Thorsten Mika mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hamm / GermanyTM5173-RIPE
Re: double quotes are displayed as ">>"
hi again, yes i just checked it. selected right layout, but still the 2 "greater" signs are used instead. thorsten Thorsten Mika mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hamm / GermanyTM5173-RIPE
