Especially after the change to use semantic linefeeds (7b23c76b),
the diffs are large and it's hard to figure out what diff is the
result of the linefeed change and which diff is the result of an
edit.
By updating the docs, it will make the edits easier to understand
from the diff.
This commit used the LyX binary to write the new .lyx files since
lyx2lyx does not apply semantic linefeeds.
I used the following command:
./development/tools/updatedocs.py [path to 'lyx' binary]
A few documents were not updated (e.g., the command sequence used
failed because a dialog about a missing dependency was shown).
I did not update Additional.lyx for any language since it is
undergoing changes. I also didn't change anything in doc/fr since JP
is working on some of those. I also didn't change doc/ru since it
appears Yuriy already updated those.
Instead of specifying "force" to disable the deletion protection
mechanism, invert the default so that "confirm" is needed to activate
it. The idea is to keep the lfun reasonable for scripting and add a
special argument for interactive use.
Document in release notes.
Update LFUN.lyx documentation
Update bind files.
Add conversion step to prefs2prefs_lfun.py.
In particular, the directory frontends/qt4 is renamed to frontends/qt.
Many configurations file have to be updated. All mentions of qt4 in
the source have been audited, and changed to qt if necessary.
The only part that has not been updated is the CMake build system.
On Linux and Mac OS, this action brings the LyX window into focus.
Such behavior is not allowed by Windows OS so instead the color of
the taskbar entry is changed to indicate that the window has changed
in some way.
The action is hidden in the shortcuts menu because it would make
sense to assign a shortcut to it. The only way to execute shortcut
would be if the LyX window is already activated.
lyx-activate will be used (see next commit) to allow the PDF viewer
to switch to LyX after executing a reverse search.
The default for ZOOM_OUT is -20 from a user perspective. That is,
the following are equivalent:
buffer-zoom-out -20
buffer-zoom-out
The reason for this is that the argument to ZOOM_OUT is treated the
exact same way as ZOOM_IN. The only way they differ is how the
default case is handled.
This commit also clarifies that (1) the argument may be positive or
negative and that (2) the argument is interpreted as percentage
points, not percent.
Pdflatex is the recommended export tool for the manuals.
Pdflatex brings the best results for hyperlinking.
Some features (e.g. rotated text) are not available in DVI or PS (dvips).
This does not affect export from command line or autotests
(where this setting is ignored and the format must aways be given explicitely).
gen_lfuns.py does now produce the current file format, and and LFUNs.lyx was
re-created with the updated script.
There is one difference if you compare this version of LFUNs.lyx with the old
version updated by lyx2lyx: All occurences of LyX, TeX etc. in the lfun
descriptions are no longer output as logos. I do consider this as a feature,
since the old version did also output the TeX part of BibTeX as a logo, as well
as places where the names were part of some syntax, e.g. lyx::LyXRC::LyXRCTags.
This is for people who cannot grasp the superior conventions of emacs ;)
A new argument "partial" has been added to word-upcase, word-lowcase
and word-capitalize that restores the old emacs-like behavior.
The (x)emacs bindings are updated to use the "partial" argument, and
also to bind correctly M-u and M-l (M-c is unfortunately not
available).
Fixes bug #2826.
Fix a crash reported in #7727. This happened because cur.pos() was reset before cur.pit(). In this case, cur.lastpos() will usually be wrong.
Fix bad behaviour when selecting at top level with several paragraphs.
Update documentation.
The advantage of having this in LyX is the intelligent file name handling
of included files. Implementation as discussed on the list, but ensure also
that an attempt to use locked files fails.
