Hi,

While Okular view of the document gets updated after rebuild (PDFLaTeX), option ForwardPDF creates a new instance of Okular. Is there a way to make it work in the already existing instance of Okular?

Thanks!

Do you mean that the master file still has to be present in the working directory and nowhere else?

Hi,

Is there a way to keep a source file (.tex) somewhere far from the directory where working files (.aux, .log, .dvi, .pdf, etc.) get created? I'm using Kile, but the question sounds to me like General.

Thanks!

Thanks! No way to bind them to the shortcuts of my own choice, then... A pity.

Hi,

Is the subject possible? I'd like to insert a constant string in the edit window, like Alt+j -> "~---~"

Special Key Replacement doesn't seem to be the means to this end.

Indentation on the first paragraph can be forced in this way:

Insert into Document->Settings->LaTeX Preamble this line: Edit tab view stays unaffected, but LaTeX output complies.

Hi,

Document->Settings->Text Layout says that paragraphs can be separated either by vertical space of by indentation. Sure enough, the first paragraph in an environment usually stays unindented. There are two questions:

(1) Why the first paragraph gets indented once in a while?

~/.lyx/bind/MyShortcuts.bind:
# include one of the basic flavours (cua or emacs)
\bind_file "cua"
# add your own bindings (overwriting the included ones)
\bind "C-j" "unicode-insert 0x2014" # insert em dash
\bind "C-h" "inset-insert ...

Thanks! The empty (containing a protected space, Ctrl-space) date works.
