Description

Hi,
this is a forward from the Debian BTS
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=452280 (second half of the
bugreport)

Original report:
"""

  • Mouse selection events

Currently LyX is unable to perform taks over selected text. For
instance, you cannot select a block of paragraphs and change them to
Double Spacing all at once.
I would like this functionality to be implemented as well if possible
"""

I'm personally not convinced that such features are a good idea and I don't
think they really fit into the concept of working with LyX and latex.

You can do precisely what the reporter wants to do. (Select paragraphs, then
Edit>Pasragraph Settings.) Whether we need more of this is indeed debatable.

Hi Richard,
thanks for the pointer. Obviously I had no use for such a feature so far and
completly missed it.

:)
