With this commit, info insets leave the dark backstage room of an opaque
and quite hidden dev-only feature and come frontstage.
In the UI, they present themselves as "Fields" since this is what people
know from word processors. Other user-related fields that could be
implemented next: time, user name (I plan to do that for 2.4).
Since this supersedes date-insert, I removed Insert > Date from
the menu and propose to ditch date-insert and the corresponding rc.
The lyx2lyx reversion routine has lots of room for improvement and
attractive tasks for pythons (file timestamp, switch of localization).
Please feel invited!
This is a file format change.
This assures the OK/Apply/Cancel/Restore buttons use the layout/style
of the OS (button order, icons).
The goal is to move all dialogs to this for 2.4.
See #11003
It is now possible in the float settings (doc dialog) to specify a global
(inner) alignment for floats, and in the float settings, this can be
overridden (just as with float placement)
Fixes: #8665
File format change.
This revives a ten year old idea (and patch) by Dov.
You can now mark in the character dialog text and exclude it from spell
checking.
Fixes: #1042
File format change
Remaining issue: The instant spell checking marks are not immediately
removed, but only after some editing.
This is a proposal, but I think you should try it out in order to comment
What this does, is:
1. Remove the toggle madness. This is really not something anyone
understands without knowing the code, and its very unusual UI
(fixes#4836)
2. Separate and group things that were put all into the "Misc" trashcan
combo
3. Let the dialog reflect the font settings at cursor (selection)
Now the dialog looks more like character dialogs from other applications,
and I think it is more in line with what users expect.
Comments very welcome (and of course I will revert if you want to have
the old idiosyncratic thing back).
Instead of "Save" (permanently) and "Apply" (temporarily), OK and Apply
now always save permanently, unless the new checkbox "Apply to current
session only" is checked.

Following a request by Günter, we consider the document fonts (only rm
for now) when selecting an appropriate font encoding.
See #9741
The new default font encoding setting "auto" does
* consider the font encoding needed by the language(s), which can now
have fallback alternatives
* Consider which font encoding is provided by the document font
Thus, cm now will result in OT1 fontenc, if the language can deal with
that.
The font_enc pref is ditched: it is no longer needed.
The automatism is still very basic and is subject to extension.
File format and prefs format change.
- the column width must be as wide as the column header text
- also center the radiobuttons in the table
- also use alternating colors for the table rows
* Describe the viewport/bb situation more accurate
* Use generic term "coordinates", since bb and viewport are flavor-specific
* Add some tooltips
* Increase the width of the options widget.
Due to its peculiarity of not being saved in the document, the
shell escape setting was applied immediately without the need
for hitting the Apply or OK buttons. However, for uniformity
sake, it is better to adhere to the established paragdim of
confirming any changes before applying them.
Allow a LaTeX backend to run external commands after user confirmation.
This is a per document and per machine setting. The authorization has
to be given through the document settings pane, but is not recorded in
the document itself. Moving the document to either another computer or
another directory on the same computer revokes the authorization.
This can also be done by right clicking the red icon that appears in
the status bar when a document is marked as one requiring shell escape.
The patch also checks whether the user has added the -shell-escape
option to a LaTeX converter and nags the user to remove the option
(which would be used for all documents) in favor of the (per document)
support offered by LyX.
Update the listings inset to optionally use the minted package
(instead of the listings one) for typesetting code listings.
Only one of the two packages can be used in a document, but it
is possible to switch packages without issues if the used options
are the same. If a switch is made and the options differ, one needs
to manually adjust them if they were entered in the advanced options
tab, or apply again the gui settings.
Note that minted requires the -shell-escape option for the latex
backend and the installation of additional software (python pygments).
- Adds a currentZoom variable which holds the current zoom level.
- The zoom stored in preferences is used as default zoom level (default binding:
M+0).
- The currentZoom is saved and restored via QSettings.
- Adds LFUN buffer-zoom for (re)setting zoom.
