LyX ⇒ Writing in the bottom of the screen

[chilifreak]

Hey - new to the forums, but haven't been able to find a answer to this.

When you have written a few paragraphs in LYX the cursor moves down to the bottom of the program, and I cant seem to find a way to scroll down to write in the middle of the screen and have a blank wall of lyx-page - like when you start a new document - to write on.

It's kind of frustrating, since I do all my work on a laptop, and like a overview of the text, but the solutions I have found are not very good. I dont want to paste a wall of text beneath what im writing to keep in the middle, and I prefer not to resize the window, and writing full-screen only seems to make the problem worse.

Is there a way around this, except the strictly manual ones, by putting in text?

Thanks for any answers

This is just the Lyx way. If you must have space below the cursor then a better solution than dead text would be a vertical space:

Insert-> Formatting -> Vertical Space -> Spacing:Custom & Size: 4in

But this will show up when you create your pdf. If you wanted to be sneaky you could put, in evil red text, a % symbol just before your vspace and then it would not appear in your output
