Previously modifying a math formula object in libreOffice writer was through the command window. When you clicked on a character the corresponding character in the command window would be highlighted. Now inserting and modifying functionality is in-place and a cursor exists in the math object providing direct access. How I can toggle between these two modes? Is there any way that toggle happens instantly so both functionalities be available. I really prefer the previous mode and it is my first choice. So rather that other questions how I could go back to that mode (editing only in command window)?
Thank you all.
What do you call “command window”? The editing pane at bottom of document window?
What is your OS? And your LO version because I am not aware of an “in-place editor”.
You can effectively click inside the formula frame but all editing occurs in the editing pane (and is immediately echoed in the frame).
It may happen that you shrinked previously the editing pane. It then looks like this:
Double-click on the black segment with the white triangle to expand the editing pane.
Thank you for responding. I call it command window because in the view menu you can show or hide it by choosing “command window” item. In recent versions a functionality added that you can edit formulas directly on the math object. This is my current version: 24.2.7.2 (X86_64)
I have found the solution for toggling. I have opened a new LibreOffice Math (exactly I mean “libreoffice --math” as a command). Now under the tools->options There is a LibreOffice Math tab which you can check or uncheck the “Enable Visual visual editing” box. So It seems that the true name of this functionality is called visual editing. But I still has not found a way to toggle modes in my LibreOffice Word document since the visual editing mode has disadvantages and is needed just sometimes.
