(Un)Usability of LyX with the beamer class

Post by gfalquet »

In general LyX has a great user interface, except when using the beamer class. With the beamer class the behaviour is a bit erratic. When hitting return in a Standard paragraph it switches to Frame, when deleting a line the result is almost unpredictable, etc.
In this respect, previous versions, with the explicit introduction of separators between frames, were easier to use.

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p
