lyxtext;
I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut for changing the alignment of a text at document (not at math-mode! regular text).
The only option that I know right now, is to do it like this:
But I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut for changing the alignment.
And if there isn't keyboard shortcut, how can I make one? (For all of the three alignments).
Thank you!
try with the following in the preamble:
\usepackage[
active,
generate=file,
extract-env={equation,align}
]{extract}
then it generates a new file with the chosen contents.
A layout in LyX is analogous to document classes in LaTeX. Since the provided document class (ociamthesis.cls) is not covered by an existing LyX layout, you have to create your own, by following these instructions (also available under Help > Customization; section 5.3 The layout file format):
First you have to install the LaTeX class so that it works with LaTeX. A discussion on this is available in Where do I place my own .sty files, to make them available to all my .tex files? that holds also for .cls document class files.
For using this LaTeX class, you'll have to write your own LyX layout. This requires you to find the "basis class" for your new class. The first couple of lines of ociamthesis.cls reveals
\LoadClass[a4paper]{report}
which implies that ociamthesis.cls is based on (or a descendant of) report.cls - something known to LyX. So you should start with report.layout:
Open report.layout and change it to resemble
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[ociamthesis]{Oxford Math Inst}
# Read the definitions from report.layout
Input report.layout
Save this file as ociamthesis.layout in the same folder.
In LyX, follow Tools > Reconfigure, and restart LyX. Now Oxford Math Inst is the text you will see in the Layout > Document > Document-Class drop-down list. With LyX reconfigured, you can now edit ociamthesis.layout and immediately see the effects of it when you recompile. LyX just needed to know where it is located, which took quite a while.
It's clear that the above minimal definition just builds the shell for the newly defined class that is based on report. Now you have to go through ociamthesis.cls and see what else to add to ociamthesis.layout to complete it. For example, since the class report is loaded with the option a4paper, we need to add
ClassOptions
Other "a4paper"
End
after Input report.layout.
A feasible final step is to include the remainder of ociamthesis.cls as part of the LyX layout's preamble:
Preamble
\def\logoversion{squarelogo}
\RequirePackage{graphicx} % needed for latest frontpage logo
\RequirePackage{ifthen} % needed for option parsing for logo
\raggedbottom
%define the default submitted text
\newcommand{\submittedtext}{{A thesis submitted for the degree of}}
%... the remainder of ociamthesis.cls
%...
%...
EndPreamble

I think I found the answer...
What we have to do if we want to change the alignment by keyboard shortcut is this:
Alt+A+C- To the center.Alt+A+L- To the left.Alt+A+R- To the right.And we can change it by: Tools->Preferences->Editing->Shortcuts and at search box we can write
alignand change what we want.
