Hi Henri,Its clear that nobody understands these things (and even those
Do you remember some episode, or some of their criticisms
that could give us more clue about precise features which
they found difficult to grasp, and therefore should be
considered as difficult to grasp for newcomers ?
One thing I find terribly annoying myself is the meta/alt modifiers
documented for shortcuts not working out of the box, thus needing
tweeking in texmacs configuration. Not sure a newbie would even
understand what those "mod<N>" refer to, and I am myself puzzled at
why there seem to be 2 sets of settings like A -> mod1 and alt -> A.
Maybe texmacs could query the X server about modifiers ? Not sure howIt does queries the X server (I'm not completely sure about that). As
much information can be gathered from there, though...
Being an occasional texmacs user, I often find myselft wondering aboutFor this I don't know, I'm not a LaTeX specialist myself (what should
things I'm sure I had found about the previous time. Eg, as user of a
french keyboard, I often find myself wondering whether I'm supposed to
use "shift" as part of a modified keystroke that involves a number.
I am also occasionally having doubts about the math-font switching:
when switched (eg. to blackboard bold) I usually try a couple of
keystrokes to check the font - and quite unexpectedly the set of chars
is just displayed in roman... Wouldn't it make sense to suppress this
behaviour when a special font has been selected ?
While testing before writing down this mail, I also stumbled on aIt is possible that the stylesheets are a little bit buggy these days,
strange behaviour, which looks quite confusing, and possibly buggy: if
I start a new doc, switch to "article" style, and start creating a
section (A-S-1 on my french keyboard), it seems to be creating much
more than a simple header, which is not terminated by the 1st newline,
and I cannot seem to be able to create other sections. No problem if
I create a document title first, though.
