LyX ⇒ A keyboard shortcut?

[porton]

I need to type \mathfrak{A} often. How to reduce typing when typing it?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

To save typing you could define a macro in your document preamble:

Code: Select all

1
\newcommand*{\ma}{\mathfrak{A}}
 
 
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The you just need to type \ma. And you could change the definition at any time, valid for the whole document.

Perhaps there are programmable LyX shortcuts, I just don't have it here right now.

This way I would see "\ma" not the symbol in the formula in the LyX editor. This is certainly not what I want.

You can program your own shortcut in LyX by going to Tools>Preferences>Editing>Shortcuts and clicking the New button. This page will help you with the syntax.

You can also use math macros in LyX. Insert > Math > Macro. Here you can control both the LaTeX and the LyX output.
