[Pkg-lyx-devel] Bug#506482: Regression: shift+select no longer works in math mode

[Alex Roper]

Package: lyx
Version: 1.6.0-1
Severity: normal


It used to be in older versions of LyX you could use SHIFT+arrows to
select in math mode. I find this feature crucial, as it allows me to do
algebraic manipulation in LyX far faster than I could write it out by
hand, eliminating my paper dependence. The new version looks snazzy and
has a bunch of cool new features, but I have pinned the old one because
this is simply a deal killer for me.

Having to reach all the way over to the mouse is irritating. I cannot
LyX notes in realtime anymore. Guess this is why you don't apt-get
upgrade during lecture:-)

If I'm the only person like this I can just never upgrade, old LyX
wasn't lacking anything I needed and didn't crash too often; but I'd
like the new stuff *drools over tab completion in math mode*

Thanks again for all the free software, etc etc. Debian saves me money AND time.

Best,
