two colors manuscript

2022-01-24 Thread jorge hernando via lyx-users
Hello

We are two authors and one manuscript and we communicate by mail. One of us
writes and submits the manuscript (written in one color, let us say black
ink) to the other who makes his corrections (addenda, deletiones, etc). We
do this in another color (say red) because we don't want to miss anything
in the revision. But the only way I know in lyx to do that is: each time I
want to insert something in the manuscript go to text style and put the
color in red, and this happens each time I add anything. This procedure is
boring and error prone.

Is there a procedure that do not alter the manuscript color  already
written but once it has started everything we write is in red,
independently of the relative location of each morsel?

Thanks a lot

Jorge Hernando

Re: Fwd: no accents with dead keys (SOLVED)

2020-12-14 Thread jorge hernando
I'll answer the questions Jose put forward.

I have 2 PC both with Fedora 32 installed (english USA), the same software
and using mate as a desktop. The only difference is the keyboard, one has
spanish keyboard (installed as spanish with dead keys) and the other has an
english keyboard (with international english, USA, with dead keys) and in
both the lyx behaviour is the same, with qt5 the dead keys are dead and
with qt4 they work; are there other options to add?. The lyx version is
2.3.5.2

no accents with dead keys (SOLVED)

2020-11-12 Thread jorge hernando
A few more pieces on the puzzle of the dead keys

 1) Does not depend on the linux distribution, Flavio de Melo in his mail
wrote that he has Ubuntu 18.04 and I have Fedora 32
2) Does not depend on the desktop; in my PC i use mate but I can also use
gnome. With both desktops there is no dead keys at all.
3) This is intriguing. Both in mate and in gnome when I save a file with a
new name, the dead keys work perfectly on the name, I can use accents in
it. Perhaps there is a clue in the difference between both calls.

That's all for the moment. Regards

Hi Jose

 I searched old e-mails and I believe I can confirm it's a bug in qt5 that
ts triggered by un unknown mechanism. The previous fedora version I had
(the 29) had lyx 2.3.3 and qt5.11 and it worked perfectly. When I installed
fedora 32 the deadkeys were effectively dead. However, with featherpad (a
qt application) I had the same problem while with nedit (non a qt appl.)
had all the dead keys in order. I also think that not all the installations
have the same problem because if it all had it, there probably were a
massive outcry: almost every language, except english, has accents.

Lastly, I have not the foggiest notion of what Input Methods are; please
tell me if there is something I can do.

no accents with dead keys (SOLVED)

2020-11-10 Thread jorge hernando
Hi
Some time ago I begun a thread about dead keys not working in lyx that
ended up with a quite cumbersome and imperfect solution (it didn't work in
formulas and was an unmitigated problem in tables); i.e. to write in a non
qt-editor and then paste the text. However, a couple of days ago, Flavio
Eler de Melo told me in an e-mail the solution. He has the pc under Ubuntu
18.04 which provides both Qt5 and Qt4. He removed qt5 and compiled lyx
(even the latest 2.4.0) with Qt4 and the dead keys worked.

I'm in fedora 32 and didn't want anything drastic so I downloaded qt4lib
and the lyx sources and run configure with the line

./configure --with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt4 --with-extra-lib=/usr/lib64
--with-version-suffix

and ended up with the executable lyx-2.3.5.2  in /usr/local/bin which runs
with Qt4 (the dead keys work perfectly) which coexists with the executable
(just in case) lyx which runs with Qt5.

inserting a text settings

2020-07-15 Thread jorge hernando
This thread, suggested by Daniel Clement, is, in fact, a splitting off of a
previous track (no accents with dead keys); there it was concluded that, at
least,  qt5 5.14 has a bug and that 5.11 has not. The bug was that the dead
keys are really dead.
As a working workaround I tried writing in a non qt application, nedit in
my case, and do a copy paste with the mouse in lyx. It worked, all the
accents and c cedille appear but the new lines disappear. If I made Insert
-> File -> Plain Text the accentuated characters got an icon, meaning I
don't know this, but the new lines remained. Same behaviour if I import the
text.
Therefore the object of this thread: is it possible, with some setting, to
have the best of both worlds?

Re: no accents with dead keys

2020-07-15 Thread jorge hernando
I can also confirm that the qt5 5.11 works well. My old setup, fedora 29
and lyx 2.3.3, where all the accents worked had qt5 5.11.
By the way, if I write in another application (not qt based) like nedit and
made copy and paste with the mouse I obtain the accents but not the
newlines, if I insert the file (Insert -> file -> plain text) I obtain the
new lines but not the accents (same behaviour if I import the text). Does
it exist a setting in lyx in order to have the best of both procedures?

Re: no accents with dead keys

2020-07-13 Thread jorge hernando
Thanks to all of you. I believe I can confirm that this is a qt bug.
Following Daniel's suggestion I installed featherpad (a qt application) and
it has the same lyx behaviour: the dead keys are really dead. I was going
to install from source but I think that it doesn't matter. Has it appeared
any workaround?

Thanks to all of you

no accents with dead keys

2020-07-12 Thread jorge hernando
Hallo
  I have one PC with english keyboard (US international with dead keys) and
another one with spanish keyboard (Castilian Spanish with dead keys) both
with fedora 32 (since a couple of days) and lyx 2.3.5.2. In both PC have
the same problem: the accents work perfectly (e.g. á is " 'a ") when in a
terminal, opening nedit, ooffice, etc. but in lyx not only it doesn't work,
the dead key is really dead: if I type ' in lyx it doesn't type anything
but, there is at least one exception, when saving a file, I can type a name
with accents (?)

  A couple of days ago, I updated the PCs which both were with fedora 29
and lyx 2.3.3 and  worked correctly. I tried downgrading lyx to 2.3.4 to no
avail. I wanted to install the lyx 2.3.3 of fedora 29 but couldn't. I
tried, according to the customization manual, to add the following line to
the file .lyx/lyxrc.default
  accent-circumflex  "S-^"
  to no avail. I created the file .lyx/lyxrc with the same line and with
the same result. I looked at some .kmap files in /usr/share/lyx/kbd,
specifically at the francais.kmap, espanol.kmap and the european.kmap and
all of them have the acents defined. Then I went to Tools -> Editing ->
Keyboard/Mouse and included them in turn with no change at all. I looked at
/usr/share/lyx/bind and was completely lost; I didn't understand a thing.
Searching with google I found some references but also didn't understand
them. In the mailing list it is mentioned (in 2019) that there is a
workaround related with Qt: to include in .xsessionrc the line
  export QT_IM_MODULE=xim
  I created the file with that line but didn't work

  As now I'm writing in french, which needs all the dead keys combinations,
I exclude the use of latex writing style.

  As conclusion: am I doing anything wrong? The other possibilities I see
are: either I'm a lucky guy and I found a bug in lyx or the fedora 32
implementation went askew. Any suggestions?

 with lyx. For bibtex databases, there are other editors too. (tkbibtex
is
 simple and straightforward and includes a pipe-to lyx feature)


 Plain postcript  also works perfectly. Also, if you compile
lyx with grace already installed
  (http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Grace)
it understands (and opens) its files *.agr. I don't know if
that it is also possible with other plotting packages (gnuplot?)

I'm a physcist and a couple of years ago I tried (and failed)
to adapt the revtex layout to the style provided by the Institute
of Physics. Pressed by time I reverted to the article style and
exported the latex in the final version, changed the styles and
corrected until it compiled.

It should be quite useful a brief tutorial (addressed to people
not very knowledgeable in latex) on how to adapt a layout file.
I apologize if it exists as I didn't check for its existence.

customisable palette

2002-05-14 Thread JORGE HERNANDO


Hi:

   I'm a relatively new user to lyx and very happy with it.
There a couple of features I'd like to see in lyx:

1) Months ago I installed in my PC the styles of the Institute
of Physics without a problem. However, I couldn't generate a
.layout file in order to incorporate it into lyx. As IOP publishes
a lot of scientific european journals, I think it could be quite
useful to have its style in lyx. It can be found in
ftp://ftp.iop.org/pub/journals/latex2e
and the web page of IOP is
htp://www.iop.org

2) My second wish is that it could be very handy to have
a customisable palette, or set of buttons and to be
able to put them in the palette. For example, I'm now
writing a paper with a lot of bold greek letters and
would be very useful to have an immediate access to them.


Thanks a lot to the lyx team for a great program!


Jorge
