TeXmacs Shortcut for Toggling Equation Numbering on MacOS

#1

Dear friends,

I am encountering an issue with TeXmacs on my MacBook Air, specifically with the ⌃# shortcut used for toggling between numbered and unnumbered equations, as described in “The Jolly Writer” (Chapter 5). This key combination seems to conflict with a default macOS screenshot command (command + shift + 3). I have tried modifying my system shortcuts, but the issue remains unresolved. Could you kindly provide any suggestions or guidance to fix this?

Thank you for your support.

Best Regards,
Yeoi

If remapping the key combination assigned to (numbered-toggle (focus-tree))) did not work, it is still possible that a different key combination works, so you might try that.

On the other hand, the default mapping is

("structured:cmd #" (numbered-toggle (focus-tree)))

and structured:cmd on the mac corresponds to "A-" (see line 159 of texmacs/keyboard/prefix-kbd.scm). You may try that as well.

Hi Pireddag,

Thanks for your help. I modify the mapping in

/Applications/TeXmacs.app/Contents/Resources/share/TeXmacs/progs/generic/generic-kbd.scm

into

("#" (numbered-toggle (focus-tree)))

or

("C-#" (numbered-toggle (focus-tree)))

to make it work.

It is best to put the modifications into one’s personal initialization file, my-init-texmacs.scm (in the local TeXmacs directory, pls. ask if you need help to find it). In this way they are preserved upon updates of the program.

It is a solved problem in Mogan Research v1.2.x.

https://github.com/XmacsLabs/mogan/releases/tag/v1.2.3-rc3

You may try Mogan Research v1.2.3-rc3 (just released). And I will release Mogan Research v1.2.3 before 2023/02/01.

Hi Preddag,

Do you mean

Click Developer → Open my-init-texmacs.scm

and then copy

(kbd-map
(“F1” (interactive docgrep-in-doc))
(“S-F1” (interactive docgrep-in-src)) ;; FIXME: S-F1 should be ‘What is This?’
;(“M-F1” (load-help-buffer “about/welcome/welcome”)) ; Conflict with devtools

(“C-#” (numbered-toggle (focus-tree)))

in?

My my-init-texmacs.scm is empty.

Thank you.

Best Regards,
Yeoi

Yes, I mean that. Also you could try Mogan, or you could see how the code for that is organized in Mogan.

Mogan Research v1.2.2 works fine too. Because I switched structured:cmd from Option to Ctrl.

Because structured:cmd # is option # which might not work properly on macOS.

But structured:cmd tab does not work in Mogan Research 1.2.2 because Option+Tab works fine on macOS but Ctrl+Tab does not work on macOS. I just solve the problem by adding A-S-up and A-S-down for structured variants circling. (Please wait Mogan Research v1.2.3, it would be the best TeXmacs distribution!)

See https://mogan.app/guide/Mogan_versus_TeXmacs.html#structured-variants-circling-since-v1-2-3

I will discuss with Joris on the shortcuts changes I made in Mogan Research. It is necessary and there are little risks to change the shortcuts.
