### This file is part of ### ===================================================== ### ### LyX, the High Level Word Processor ### ### Copyright 1995-1997 Matthias Ettrich & the LyX Team ### ### ===================================================== # The file lyxrc.example is a template to write your own lyxrc file. # If you copy/rename it to lyxrc in the current directory, it will # give global options for all LyX users. It is also possible to copy # this file to $HOME/.lyx/lyxrc so that the configuration applies to a # particular user. # # Several of these settings have defaults that are auto-detected when you use # the menu option Options->Reconfigure. You can see their value by looking at # the file $HOME/.lyx/lyxrc.defaults. Any setting in this file will override # the defaults. # # BIND SECTION ########################################################### # # Before defining your own key-bindings, select one of the available default # binding sets. These are resource files (like this one) that define a # large set of (keyboard) bindings. These files live in bind directory of # the LyX system directory and have in general the .bind suffix. # Currently, you can choose from the following flavors: # # cua.bind for Windows-, Mac- and Motif-like bindings # emacs.bind for Emacs-like bindings. # # The \bind_file command looks in the LyX bind directory for a file # of the given name, but a full path can also be given. If you have # a bind file in your ~/.lyx/bind/ directory, it will be preferred # over a system wide bind file. Default is `cua'. #\bind_file cua #\bind_file emacs # Based on the default, you can now change part or all of it with the # \bind command. For example, when you want the delete key to do the # backspace action, uncomment the following line: #\bind "Delete" "delete-backward" # However, if you're not at all happy with the default bindings, # the most logical thing to do would be to use one of the system # wide bind files as a template and place your own version in # ~/.lyx/bind/mine_is_best.bind and change the above \bind_file # to this instead: #\bind_file mine_is_best # Tip: Use "lyx -dbg 4" to survey how LyX interprets your keybindings. # # MISC SECTION ########################################################### # # Set to false if you don't want the current selection to be replaced # automatically by what you type. Default is true. #\auto_region_delete false # This is the time interval between auto-saves (in seconds). # 0 means no auto-save, default is 300 for five minutes. #\autosave 600 # LyX asks for a second confirmation to exit if you exit with changed # documents that you don't want to save. You can turn this confirmation off # (LyX will still ask to save changed documents) with the following line. # We recommend to keep the confirmation, though. #\exit_confirmation false # LyX continously displays names of last command executed, along with a list # of defined short-cuts for it in the minibuffer. # It requires some horsepower to function, so you can turn it off, if LyX # seems slow to you, by uncommenting this line: #\display_shortcuts false # Define which program to use to view dvi files here. # You can include any options you need by "quoting" the entire command. # You don't need to specify the paper-size and orientation, which is done # automatically by LyX (hence, your viewer has to interpret the -paper # option like xdvi does) # The default is "xdvi". # Example: the next line would use xdvi and display with shrink 2: #\view_dvi_command "xdvi -s 2" # It can get more involved. Expert users might prefer something like: #\view_dvi_command "xdvi -s 2 -expert -geometry 1014x720+0+0 -keep -margins 1.5" # LyX assumes that the default papersize should be usletter. If this is not # true for your site, use the next line to specify usletter, legal, # executive, a3, a4, a5, or b5 as the default papersize. #\default_papersize "a4" # Define which program to use to view postscript files here. # You can include any options you need by "quoting" the entire command # The default is auto-detected, but you might want to override it. # It is possible to get nice anti-aliased text (slower, but as nice as # xdvi) by using something like #\view_ps_command "ghostview -swap -sDEVICE=x11alpha" # Define which program to use to full screen view included postscript # pictures. You can not include any options. The default is auto-detected. #\view_pspic_command ghostview # Define which program to use to use as postscript interpreter for included # images. # You can not include any options. The default is "gs" if it can be found. # If you have a slow computer, you should consider turning off the WYSIWYG # display of includes images, by using this command: #\ps_command "" # Define which program to use to run "chktex". # You should include options that turn different warnings on and off. # Default is "chktex -n1 -n3 -n6 -n9 -n22 -n25 -n30 -n38" # Check the ChkTeX documentation for info on what the flags mean. # Example: use this to ignore warnings about using "\ldots" instead of "..." #\chktex_command "chktex -n11 -n1 -n3 -n6 -n9 -22 -n25 -n30 -n38" # Define which program to use to translate latex to HTML. # You should include options. The default is autodetected: the programs # checked are tth, latex2html and hevea, and the default command lines # used are: #\html_command "tth -t '$$Fname'" #\html_command "latex2html -no_subdir -split 0 -show_section_numbers '$$FName'" #\html_command "hevea -s '$$FName'" # The variable name $$FName is replaced with the name of the .tex # file, and $$OutName is replaced with the name of the html file. # Example: use this to let math be italic with tth. #\html_command "tth -t -i $$FName" # If you want to pass extra flags to the LinuxDoc sgml scripts, insert them # here. # Example: the next line activates iso-latin1 support: #\sgml_extra_options -l # Keyboard Mapping. Use this to set the correct mapping file for your # keyboard, that is if you need one. You'll need one if you for instance # want to type German documents on an American keyboard. In that case, # uncomment these three lines: #\kbmap true #\kbmap_primary german #\kbmap_secondary american # The following keyboards are supported: american, czech, francais, # french, german, german-2, magyar, magyar-2, portuges, romanian, # slovak, slovene, transilvanian, turkish and turkish-f. Check # the lib/kbd directory if you want to write support for your language. # If you do, please submit it to lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org. # The Pause button is defined to be a three-way switch between primary # keyboard, secondary keyboard, and no keyboard mapping with the # following command. It is useful if you want to write in a language # not directly supported by your keyboard and you have defined a # custom keyboard mapping above. #\bind "Pause" "keymap-toggle" # This starts the lyxserver. The pipes get an additional extension # '.in' and '.out'. Only for advanced users. # \serverpipe "/home/chb/.lyxpipe" # Which command to use to invoke the reLyX script to convert # LaTeX files to LyX files. This setting is automatically # disabled if you do not have the appropriate Perl version # installed. In that case, the File->Import LaTeX command # will be disabled. If the reLyX command does work for you, # you can override that here by uncommenting this line: #\relyx_command "reLyX" # # If it doesn't work, you can disable the command by uncommenting # this line: #\relyx_command "none" # # SCREEN & FONTS SECTION ################################################# # # DPI (dots per inch) of your monitor is auto-detected by LyX. If that goes # wrong, you can override the setting here: #\screen_dpi 100 # The zoom percentage for screen fonts. # A setting of 100% will make the fonts roughly the same size as on paper. # However, since a screen is wider than a piece of paper, the default setting # is 150%. #\screen_zoom 100 # LyX offers a faster method for drawing selected text if you uncomment the # following line. The trick is to invert the color-information. This will # switch between white and black and give almost random results for # other colors, so a white background is necessary. Any other settings of # the background color will be ignored for this reason. This setting # is useful on monochrome screens and on slow systems. Fast selection # can cause cosmetic problems with a few broken X servers. #\fast_selection true # If you don't like the default background or selection color, you can # set your own here: #\background_color white #\background_color lightyellow # # For reference, the defaults are: #\background_color linen #\selection_color lightblue # LyX normally doesn't update the cursor position if you move the scrollbar. # If you scroll the cursor off the screen and then start typing LyX will # move you back to where the cursor was. If you'd prefer to always have the # cursor on screen, bounded by the topmost and bottommost visible lines # -- much like XEmacs for example -- then uncomment the next line. #\cursor_follows_scrollbar true # The screen fonts used to display the text while editing # The defaults are: #\screen_font_roman "-*-times" #\screen_font_sans "-*-helvetica" #\screen_font_typewriter "-*-courier" # For some, this font looks better: #\screen_font_roman "-*-utopia" # Allow the use of scalable screen fonts? Default is true. # If you choose "false", LyX will use the closest existing size for a match. # Use this if the scalable fonts look bad and you have many fixed size fonts. #\screen_font_scalable false # Tip: Run lyx as "lyx -dbg 512" to learn which fonts are used. # The norm for the screen fonts. The default is iso8859-1, which is # the same as what LaTeX calls latin1. #\screen_font_encoding iso8859-2 # The font for popups. It is set to # -*-*-*-?-*-*-*-*-. # The default is: #\screen_font_popup "-*-helvetica-medium-r" # The font for menus (and groups titles in popups).
