10 # The file lyxrc.example is a template to write your own lyxrc file.
11 # If you copy/rename it to lyxrc in the current directory, it will
12 # give global options for all LyX users. It is also possible to copy
13 # this file to $HOME/.lyx/lyxrc so that the configuration applies to a
16 # Several of these settings have defaults that are auto-detected when you use

22 # BIND SECTION ###########################################################
25 # Before defining your own key-bindings, select one of the available default
26 # binding sets. These are resource files (like this one) that define a
27 # large set of (keyboard) bindings. These files live in bind directory of
28 # the LyX system directory and have in general the .bind suffix.
29 # Currently, you can choose from the following flavors:
31 # cua.bind for Windows-, Mac- and Motif-like bindings
32 # emacs.bind for Emacs-like bindings.
34 # The \bind_file command looks in the LyX bind directory for a file
35 # of the given name, but a full path can also be given. If you have
36 # a bind file in your ~/.lyx/bind/ directory, it will be preferred
37 # over a system wide bind file. Default is `cua'.
42 # Based on the default, you can now change part or all of it with the
43 # \bind command. For example, when you want the delete key to do the
44 # backspace action, uncomment the following line:
45 #\bind "Delete" "delete-backward"
47 # However, if you're not at all happy with the default bindings,
48 # the most logical thing to do would be to use one of the system
49 # wide bind files as a template and place your own version in
50 # ~/.lyx/bind/mine_is_best.bind and change the above \bind_file
52 #\bind_file mine_is_best
54 # Tip: Use "lyx -dbg 4" to survey how LyX interprets your keybindings.
58 # MISC SECTION ###########################################################
61 # Set to false if you don't want the current selection to be replaced
62 # automatically by what you type. Default is true.
63 #\auto_region_delete false
65 # This is the time interval between auto-saves (in seconds).
66 # 0 means no auto-save, default is 300 for five minutes.
69 # LyX asks for a second confirmation to exit if you exit with changed
70 # documents that you don't want to save. You can turn this confirmation off
71 # (LyX will still ask to save changed documents) with the following line.
72 # We recommend to keep the confirmation, though.
73 #\exit_confirmation false
75 # LyX continously displays names of last command executed, along with a list
76 # of defined short-cuts for it in the minibuffer.
77 # It requires some horsepower to function, so you can turn it off, if LyX
78 # seems slow to you, by uncommenting this line:
79 #\display_shortcuts false
81 # Define which program to use to view dvi files here.
82 # You can include any options you need by "quoting" the entire command.
83 # You don't need to specify the paper-size and orientation, which is done
84 # automatically by LyX (hence, your viewer has to interpret the -paper
85 # option like xdvi does)
86 # The default is "xdvi".
87 # Example: the next line would use xdvi and display with shrink 2:
88 #\view_dvi_command "xdvi -s 2"
89 # It can get more involved. Expert users might prefer something like:
90 #\view_dvi_command "xdvi -s 2 -expert -geometry 1014x720+0+0 -keep -margins 1.5"
92 # LyX assumes that the default papersize should be usletter. If this is not
93 # true for your site, use the next line to specify usletter, legal,
94 # executive, a3, a4, a5, or b5 as the default papersize.
95 #\default_papersize "a4"
97 # Define which program to use to view postscript files here.
98 # You can include any options you need by "quoting" the entire command
99 # The default is auto-detected, but you might want to override it.
100 # It is possible to get nice anti-aliased text (slower, but as nice as
101 # xdvi) by using something like
102 #\view_ps_command "ghostview -swap -sDEVICE=x11alpha"
104 # Define which program to use to full screen view included postscript
105 # pictures. You can not include any options. The default is auto-detected.
106 #\view_pspic_command ghostview
108 # Define which program to use to use as postscript interpreter for included
110 # You can not include any options. The default is "gs" if it can be found.
111 # If you have a slow computer, you should consider turning off the WYSIWYG
112 # display of includes images, by using this command:
115 # Define which program to use to run "chktex".
116 # You should include options that turn different warnings on and off.
117 # Default is "chktex -n1 -n3 -n6 -n9 -n22 -n25 -n30 -n38"
118 # Check the ChkTeX documentation for info on what the flags mean.
119 # Example: use this to ignore warnings about using "\ldots" instead of "..."
120 #\chktex_command "chktex -n11 -n1 -n3 -n6 -n9 -22 -n25 -n30 -n38"
122 # Define which program to use to run "tth", the LaTeX to HTML converter
123 # You should include options. The default is "tth -t"
124 # Example: use this to let math be italic
125 #\tth_command "tth -t -i"
127 # If you want to pass extra flags to the LinuxDoc sgml scripts, insert them
129 # Example: the next line activates iso-latin1 support:
130 #\sgml_extra_options -l
132 # Keyboard Mapping. Use this to set the correct mapping file for your
133 # keyboard, that is if you need one. You'll need one if you for instance
134 # want to type German documents on an American keyboard. In that case,
135 # uncomment these three lines:
137 #\kbmap_primary german
138 #\kbmap_secondary american
139 # The following keyboards are supported: american, czech, francais,
140 # french, german, german-2, magyar, magyar-2, portuges, romanian,
141 # slovak, slovene, transilvanian, turkish and turkish-f. Check
142 # the lib/kbd directory if you want to write support for your language.
143 # If you do, please submit it to lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org.
145 # The Pause button is defined to be a three-way switch between primary
146 # keyboard, secondary keyboard, and no keyboard mapping with the
147 # following command. It is useful if you want to write in a language
148 # not directly supported by your keyboard and you have defined a
149 # custom keyboard mapping above.
150 #\bind "Pause" "keymap-toggle"
152 # This starts the lyxserver. The pipes get an additional extension
153 # '.in' and '.out'. Only for advanced users.
154 # \serverpipe "/home/chb/.lyxpipe"
156 # Which command to use to invoke the reLyX script to convert
157 # LaTeX files to LyX files. This setting is automatically
158 # disabled if you do not have the appropriate Perl version
159 # installed. In that case, the File->Import LaTeX command
160 # will be disabled. If the reLyX command does work for you,
161 # you can override that here by uncommenting this line:
162 #\relyx_command "reLyX"
164 # If it doesn't work, you can disable the command by uncommenting
166 #\relyx_command "none"
169 # SCREEN & FONTS SECTION #################################################
172 # DPI (dots per inch) of your monitor is auto-detected by LyX. If that goes
173 # wrong, you can override the setting here:
176 # The zoom percentage for screen fonts.
177 # A setting of 100% will make the fonts roughly the same size as on paper.
178 # However, since a screen is wider than a piece of paper, the default setting
182 # LyX offers a faster method for drawing selected text if you uncomment the
183 # following line. The trick is to invert the color-information. This will
184 # switch between white and black and give almost random results for
185 # other colors, so a white background is necessary. Any other settings of
186 # the background color will be ignored for this reason. This setting
187 # is useful on monochrome screens and on slow systems. Fast selection
188 # can cause cosmetic problems with a few broken X servers.
189 #\fast_selection true
191 # If you don't like the default background or selection color, you can
193 #\background_color white
194 #\background_color lightyellow
196 # For reference, the defaults are:
197 #\background_color linen
198 #\selection_color lightblue
200 # LyX normally doesn't update the cursor position if you move the scrollbar.
201 # If you scroll the cursor off the screen and then start typing LyX will
202 # move you back to where the cursor was. If you'd prefer to always have the
203 # cursor on screen, bounded by the topmost and bottommost visible lines
204 # -- much like XEmacs for example -- then uncomment the next line.
205 #\cursor_follows_scrollbar true
207 # The screen fonts used to display the text while editing
209 #\screen_font_roman -*-times
210 #\screen_font_sans -*-helvetica
211 #\screen_font_typewriter -*-courier
213 # For some, this font looks better:
214 #\screen_font_roman -*-utopia
216 # Allow the use of scalable screen fonts? Default is true.
217 # If you choose "false", LyX will use the closest existing size for a match.
218 # Use this if the scalable fonts look bad and you have many fixed size fonts.
219 #\screen_font_scalable false
221 # Tip: Run lyx as "lyx -dbg 512" to learn which fonts are used.
223 # The norm for the screen fonts. The default is iso8859-1, which is
224 # the same as what LaTeX calls latin1.
225 #\screen_font_encoding iso8859-2

228 # <font_popup>-*-*-*-?-*-*-*-*-<font_encoding>.

232 # The font for menus (and groups titles in popups). It is set to
233 # <font_menu>-*-*-*-?-*-*-*-*-<font_encoding>.
235 #\screen_font_menu -*-helvetica-bold-r
237 # The font sizes used for calculating the scaling of the screen fonts.
238 # You should only have to change these if the fonts on your screen look bad,
239 # in which case you can fine tune the font selection size by size. LyX selects
240 # font size according to this table, the monitor DPI setting and the current
243 #\screen_font_sizes tiny smallest smaller small normal large larger largest huge huger
245 # This is the default in LyX (exactly what LaTeX does):
246 #\screen_font_sizes 5.0 7.0 8.0 9.0 10.0 12.0 14.4 17.28 20.74 24.88

301 # PRINTER SECTION ########################################################
304 # The default printer to print on. If none is specified, LyX will use
305 # the environment variable PRINTER. If that fails, the default is empty.
308 # If you have setup (as we recommend you to do) your print program
309 # (e.g. dvips) to take advantage of the particularities of the various
310 # printers you have access to, then you should set the following to

395 # can specify by adding the tag $$FName where the filename should be
396 # put on the defined command. if no $$FName is specified the file is
397 # sent in standard input (stdin). There is no default command
398 # specified. Example:
399 #\custom_export_command "kghostview $$FName"
401 # This is the default for the type of contents to be sent to the export
402 # command: possible values are lyx, dvi, tex, ps and ascii.
403 #\custom_export_format ps
406 # TEX SECTION ###########################################################
409 # LyX tries to auto-detect which command to use to invoke LaTeX(2e).
410 # If the auto-detection for some reasons fail, you can override it
412 #\latex_command latex2e
414 # The font encoding used for the LaTeX2e fontenc package.
415 # T1 is highly recommended for non-English languages. LyX uses T1 as a
416 # default if you have the ec fonts installed on your system.
418 # Choose "default" if T1 doesn't work for you for some reason:
419 #\font_encoding default
423 # FILE SECTION ##########################################################
426 # The default path for your documents.
428 #\document_path ~/Documents/
430 # The file where the last-files information should be stored.
431 # Default is ~/.lyx/lastfiles
432 #\lastfiles ~/.lyx_lastfiles
434 # Maximal number of lastfiles. Up to nine can appear in the file menu.
438 # Flag telling whether the lastfiles should be checked for existence.
439 # Files that does not exist are left out of the lastfiles entries.
440 # Default is true. If you use slow or removable media, such as networks
441 # or floppy disks, you can speed up the starting time of LyX by disabling
443 #\check_lastfiles false
445 # The path that LyX will set when offering you to choose a template.
446 # Default is (System LyX dir)/templates
447 #\template_path ~/.lyx/templates
449 # The path that LyX will use to put temporary TeX outputs.
450 # Default is /tmp/<unique directory for each instance of LyX>
451 # containing <unique subdirectory for each buffer>

457 # to put TeX outputs into. It is enabled by default.
458 # This directory is deleted when you quit LyX.
459 # You might want to avoid using a temporary directory in several
461 # - LaTeX cannot find some files it needs;
462 # - you have a large number of include files, and you get messages
463 # saying that some LaTeX buffers overflow.
464 # Note that, even if tell LyX not to use a temporary directory, there
465 # will be cases where it will be forced to: this happens for example
466 # when typesetting a file in a read-only directory (documentation).
