Best Answer
There are at least three ways of getting
\bar
, or alternatively,\overline
in LyX:Type it directly: In math mode, type
\bar
(or\overline
) followed by Space. Then type thez
or whatever, and hit the space bar or use the right arrow key to move out of the inset.Use the keyboard shortcut:
\bar
: Alt + M -\overline
: Alt + M B(I.e. hold Alt, press M, release both and hit -.)
Use the button on the math toolbar, specifically the one showing a dotted box with a hat on it. You get a panel of options.
\bar
is number three from the left on the top row,\overline
is the one that's highlighted.
