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 pdf 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 # Usual values are: xpdf, acroread, gv, ghostscript.
101 #\view_pdf_command "xpdf"
103 # Define which program to use to view postscript files here.
104 # You can include any options you need by "quoting" the entire command
105 # The default is auto-detected, but you might want to override it.
106 # It is possible to get nice anti-aliased text (slower, but as nice as
107 # xdvi) by using something like
108 #\view_ps_command "ghostview -swap -sDEVICE=x11alpha"
110 # Define which program to use to full screen view included postscript
111 # pictures. You can not include any options. The default is auto-detected.
112 #\view_pspic_command ghostview
114 # Define which program to use to use as postscript interpreter for included
116 # You can not include any options. The default is "gs" if it can be found.
117 # If you have a slow computer, you should consider turning off the WYSIWYG
118 # display of includes images, by using this command:
121 # Define which program to use to run "chktex".
122 # You should include options that turn different warnings on and off.
123 # Default is "chktex -n1 -n3 -n6 -n9 -n22 -n25 -n30 -n38"
124 # Check the ChkTeX documentation for info on what the flags mean.
125 # Example: use this to ignore warnings about using "\ldots" instead of "..."
126 #\chktex_command "chktex -n11 -n1 -n3 -n6 -n9 -22 -n25 -n30 -n38"
128 # Define which program to use to translate latex to HTML.
129 # You should include options. The default is autodetected: the programs
130 # checked are tth, latex2html and hevea, and the default command lines
132 #\html_command "tth -t < '$$FName' > '$$OutName'"
133 #\html_command "latex2html -no_subdir -split 0 -show_section_numbers '$$FName'"
134 #\html_command "hevea -s '$$FName'"
135 # The variable name $$FName is replaced with the name of the .tex
136 # file, and $$OutName is replaced with the name of the html file.
137 # Example: use this to let math be italic with tth.
138 #\html_command "tth -t -i < '$$FName' > '$$OutName'"
140 # If you want to pass extra flags to the LinuxDoc sgml scripts, insert them
142 # Example: the next line activates iso-latin1 support:
143 #\sgml_extra_options -l
145 # Keyboard Mapping. Use this to set the correct mapping file for your
146 # keyboard, that is if you need one. You'll need one if you for instance
147 # want to type German documents on an American keyboard. In that case,
148 # uncomment these three lines:
150 #\kbmap_primary german
151 #\kbmap_secondary american
152 # The following keyboards are supported: american, czech, francais,
153 # french, german, german-2, magyar, magyar-2, portuges, romanian,
154 # slovak, slovene, transilvanian, turkish and turkish-f. Check
155 # the lib/kbd directory if you want to write support for your language.
156 # If you do, please submit it to lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org.
158 # The Pause button is defined to be a three-way switch between primary
159 # keyboard, secondary keyboard, and no keyboard mapping with the
160 # following command. It is useful if you want to write in a language
161 # not directly supported by your keyboard and you have defined a
162 # custom keyboard mapping above.
163 #\bind "Pause" "keymap-toggle"
165 # This starts the lyxserver. The pipes get an additional extension
166 # '.in' and '.out'. Only for advanced users.

169 # Which command to use to invoke the reLyX script to convert
170 # LaTeX files to LyX files. This setting is automatically
171 # disabled if you do not have the appropriate Perl version
172 # installed. In that case, the File->Import LaTeX command
173 # will be disabled. If the reLyX command does work for you,
174 # you can override that here by uncommenting this line:
175 #\relyx_command "reLyX"

182 # SCREEN & FONTS SECTION #################################################
185 # DPI (dots per inch) of your monitor is auto-detected by LyX. If that goes
186 # wrong, you can override the setting here:
189 # The zoom percentage for screen fonts.
190 # A setting of 100% will make the fonts roughly the same size as on paper.
191 # However, since a screen is wider than a piece of paper, the default setting
195 # LyX offers a faster method for drawing selected text if you uncomment the
196 # following line. The trick is to invert the color-information. This will
197 # switch between white and black and give almost random results for
198 # other colors, so a white background is necessary. Any other settings of
199 # the background color will be ignored for this reason. This setting
200 # is useful on monochrome screens and on slow systems. Fast selection
201 # can cause cosmetic problems with a few broken X servers.
202 #\fast_selection true
204 # If you don't like the default background or selection color, you can
206 #\background_color white
207 #\background_color lightyellow
209 # For reference, the defaults are:
210 #\background_color linen
211 #\selection_color lightblue
213 # LyX normally doesn't update the cursor position if you move the scrollbar.
214 # If you scroll the cursor off the screen and then start typing LyX will
215 # move you back to where the cursor was. If you'd prefer to always have the
216 # cursor on screen, bounded by the topmost and bottommost visible lines
217 # -- much like XEmacs for example -- then uncomment the next line.
218 #\cursor_follows_scrollbar true
220 # The screen fonts used to display the text while editing
222 #\screen_font_roman "-*-times"
223 #\screen_font_sans "-*-helvetica"
224 #\screen_font_typewriter "-*-courier"
226 # For some, this font looks better:
227 #\screen_font_roman "-*-utopia"
229 # Allow the use of scalable screen fonts? Default is true.
230 # If you choose "false", LyX will use the closest existing size for a match.
231 # Use this if the scalable fonts look bad and you have many fixed size fonts.
232 #\screen_font_scalable false
234 # Tip: Run lyx as "lyx -dbg 512" to learn which fonts are used.
236 # The norm for the screen fonts. The default is iso8859-1, which is
237 # the same as what LaTeX calls latin1.
238 #\screen_font_encoding iso8859-2
240 # The font for popups. It is set to
241 # <font_popup>-*-*-*-?-*-*-*-*-<font_encoding>.
243 #\screen_font_popup "-*-helvetica-medium-r"
245 # The font for menus (and groups titles in popups). It is set to
246 # <font_menu>-*-*-*-?-*-*-*-*-<font_encoding>.
248 #\screen_font_menu "-*-helvetica-bold-r"
250 # The font sizes used for calculating the scaling of the screen fonts.
251 # You should only have to change these if the fonts on your screen look bad,
252 # in which case you can fine tune the font selection size by size. LyX selects
253 # font size according to this table, the monitor DPI setting and the current
256 #\screen_font_sizes tiny smallest smaller small normal large larger largest huge huger
258 # This is the default in LyX (exactly what LaTeX does):
259 #\screen_font_sizes 5.0 7.0 8.0 9.0 10.0 12.0 14.4 17.28 20.74 24.88

317 # The default printer to print on. If none is specified, LyX will use
318 # the environment variable PRINTER. If that fails, the default is empty.
321 # If you have setup (as we recommend you to do) your print program

408 # can specify by adding the tag $$FName where the filename should be
409 # put on the defined command. if no $$FName is specified the file is
410 # sent in standard input (stdin). There is no default command
411 # specified. Example:
412 #\custom_export_command "kghostview $$FName"
414 # This is the default for the type of contents to be sent to the export
415 # command: possible values are lyx, dvi, tex, ps and ascii.
416 #\custom_export_format ps
419 # TEX SECTION ###########################################################
422 # LyX tries to auto-detect which command to use to invoke LaTeX(2e).
423 # If the auto-detection for some reasons fail, you can override it
425 #\latex_command latex2e
427 # The command used to generate pdf files directly from a latex file.
428 # A program that works in anyother way is not guarantied to work.

431 # The command used to generate postscript files from pdf files.
432 #\pdf_to_ps_command pdf2ps
434 # If to use pdf as native export format instead of dvi. This makes LyX use
435 # pdflatex, pdf2ps and other utility programs. Default is false.
438 # The font encoding used for the LaTeX2e fontenc package.
439 # T1 is highly recommended for non-English languages. LyX uses T1 as a
440 # default if you have the ec fonts installed on your system.

470 # Default is (System LyX dir)/templates
471 #\template_path ~/.lyx/templates
473 # The path that LyX will use to put temporary TeX outputs.
474 # Default is /tmp/<unique directory for each instance of LyX>
