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

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 # The default is "xdvi".
84 # Example: the next line would use xdvi and display with shrink 2:
85 #\view_dvi_command "xdvi -s 2"
86 # It can get more involved. Expert users might prefer something like:
87 #\view_dvi_command "xdvi -s 2 -expert -geometry 1014x720+0+0 -keep -margins 1.5"
89 # \view_dvi_paper_option allows to specify a paper option to the dvi
90 # viewer. By default LyX specifies the paper size of the document to
91 # the dvi viewer via the command line option -paper size, where size
92 # is one of "us","letter","a3","a4" and so on. The command
93 # \view_dvi_paper_option allows the user to overwrite the name of the
94 # command line flag, i.e. replace -paper with something else. If
95 # specified and left empty, i.e. \view_dvi_paper_option "", LyX does
96 # not append the -paper option to the dvi command at all. This case is
97 # especially useful when viewing your documents on Windows with yap,
98 # because yap does not allow a command line option for the paper size.
101 # LyX assumes that the default papersize should be usletter. If this is not
102 # true for your site, use the next line to specify usletter, legal,
103 # executive, a3, a4, a5, or b5 as the default papersize.
104 #\default_papersize "a4"
106 # Define which program to use to view pdf files here.
107 # You can include any options you need by "quoting" the entire command
108 # The default is auto-detected, but you might want to override it.
109 # Usual values are: xpdf, acroread, gv, ghostscript.
110 #\view_pdf_command "xpdf"
112 # Define which program to use to view postscript files here.
113 # You can include any options you need by "quoting" the entire command
114 # The default is auto-detected, but you might want to override it.
115 # It is possible to get nice anti-aliased text (slower, but as nice as
116 # xdvi) by using something like
117 #\view_ps_command "ghostview -swap -sDEVICE=x11alpha"
119 # Define which program to use to full screen view included postscript
120 # pictures. You can not include any options. The default is auto-detected.
121 #\view_pspic_command ghostview
123 # Define which program to use to use as postscript interpreter for included
125 # You can not include any options. The default is "gs" if it can be found.
126 # If you have a slow computer, you should consider turning off the WYSIWYG
127 # display of includes images, by using this command:
130 # Define which program to use to run "chktex".
131 # You should include options that turn different warnings on and off.
132 # Default is "chktex -n1 -n3 -n6 -n9 -n22 -n25 -n30 -n38"
133 # Check the ChkTeX documentation for info on what the flags mean.
134 # Example: use this to ignore warnings about using "\ldots" instead of "..."
135 #\chktex_command "chktex -n11 -n1 -n3 -n6 -n9 -22 -n25 -n30 -n38"
137 # Define which program to use to translate latex to HTML.
138 # You should include options. The default is autodetected: the programs
139 # checked are tth, latex2html and hevea, and the default command lines
141 #\html_command "tth -t < '$$FName' > '$$OutName'"
142 #\html_command "latex2html -no_subdir -split 0 -show_section_numbers '$$FName'"
143 #\html_command "hevea -s '$$FName'"
144 # The variable name $$FName is replaced with the name of the .tex
145 # file, and $$OutName is replaced with the name of the html file.
146 # Example: use this to let math be italic with tth.
147 #\html_command "tth -t -i < '$$FName' > '$$OutName'"
149 # If you want to pass extra flags to the LinuxDoc sgml scripts, insert them
151 # Example: the next line activates iso-latin1 support:
152 #\sgml_extra_options -l
154 # Keyboard Mapping. Use this to set the correct mapping file for your
155 # keyboard, that is if you need one. You'll need one if you for instance
156 # want to type German documents on an American keyboard. In that case,
157 # uncomment these three lines:
159 #\kbmap_primary german
160 #\kbmap_secondary american
161 # The following keyboards are supported: american, czech, francais,
162 # french, german, german-2, magyar, magyar-2, portuges, romanian,
163 # slovak, slovene, transilvanian, turkish and turkish-f. Check
164 # the lib/kbd directory if you want to write support for your language.
165 # If you do, please submit it to lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org.
167 # The Pause button is defined to be a three-way switch between primary
168 # keyboard, secondary keyboard, and no keyboard mapping with the
169 # following command. It is useful if you want to write in a language
170 # not directly supported by your keyboard and you have defined a
171 # custom keyboard mapping above.
172 #\bind "Pause" "keymap-toggle"
174 # This starts the lyxserver. The pipes get an additional extension
175 # '.in' and '.out'. Only for advanced users.

178 # Which command to use to invoke the reLyX script to convert
179 # LaTeX files to LyX files. This setting is automatically
180 # disabled if you do not have the appropriate Perl version
181 # installed. In that case, the File->Import LaTeX command
182 # will be disabled. If the reLyX command does work for you,
183 # you can override that here by uncommenting this line:
184 #\relyx_command "reLyX"
186 # If it doesn't work, you can disable the command by uncommenting

191 # SCREEN & FONTS SECTION #################################################
194 # DPI (dots per inch) of your monitor is auto-detected by LyX. If that goes
195 # wrong, you can override the setting here:
198 # The zoom percentage for screen fonts.
199 # A setting of 100% will make the fonts roughly the same size as on paper.
200 # However, since a screen is wider than a piece of paper, the default setting
204 # LyX offers a faster method for drawing selected text if you uncomment the
205 # following line. The trick is to invert the color-information. This will
206 # switch between white and black and give almost random results for
207 # other colors, so a white background is necessary. Any other settings of
208 # the background color will be ignored for this reason. This setting
209 # is useful on monochrome screens and on slow systems. Fast selection
210 # can cause cosmetic problems with a few broken X servers.
211 #\fast_selection true
213 # If you don't like the default background or selection color, you can
215 #\background_color white
216 #\background_color lightyellow
218 # For reference, the defaults are:
219 #\background_color linen
220 #\selection_color lightblue
222 # LyX normally doesn't update the cursor position if you move the scrollbar.
223 # If you scroll the cursor off the screen and then start typing LyX will
224 # move you back to where the cursor was. If you'd prefer to always have the
225 # cursor on screen, bounded by the topmost and bottommost visible lines
226 # -- much like XEmacs for example -- then uncomment the next line.
227 #\cursor_follows_scrollbar true
229 # The screen fonts used to display the text while editing
231 #\screen_font_roman "-*-times"
232 #\screen_font_sans "-*-helvetica"
233 #\screen_font_typewriter "-*-courier"
235 # For some, this font looks better:
236 #\screen_font_roman "-*-utopia"
238 # Allow the use of scalable screen fonts? Default is true.
239 # If you choose "false", LyX will use the closest existing size for a match.
240 # Use this if the scalable fonts look bad and you have many fixed size fonts.
241 #\screen_font_scalable false
243 # Tip: Run lyx as "lyx -dbg 512" to learn which fonts are used.
245 # The norm for the screen fonts. The default is iso8859-1, which is
246 # the same as what LaTeX calls latin1.
247 #\screen_font_encoding iso8859-2
249 # The font for popups. It is set to
250 # <font_popup>-*-*-*-?-*-*-*-*-<font_encoding>.

254 # The font for menus (and groups titles in popups). It is set to
255 # <font_menu>-*-*-*-?-*-*-*-*-<font_encoding>.
257 #\screen_font_menu "-*-helvetica-bold-r"
259 # The font sizes used for calculating the scaling of the screen fonts.
260 # You should only have to change these if the fonts on your screen look bad,
261 # in which case you can fine tune the font selection size by size. LyX selects
262 # font size according to this table, the monitor DPI setting and the current
265 #\screen_font_sizes tiny smallest smaller small normal large larger largest huge huger
267 # This is the default in LyX (exactly what LaTeX does):
