- When selecting, maybe give a visual indication of the "original"
|
|
anchor, when it differs from the "actual" one.

|
- I suggest creating a different "kewybinding namespace" for the formulas,
|
|
since you could put to good use all those keybindings from the menu (M-?,
|
|
C-?) thath currently do their job PLUS getting you out of the formula.
|
|
Seriously, it'd be great to have more keys free, so M-d t would be time
|
|
derivative and M-d ? derivative with respect to the variable ?. And so on.

Flattening macros. Sometimes it's annoying the fact that once you have
|
|
written a macro, you can't touch at it's "constant parts". I call flattening
|
|
to the process of substituting all macros with LaTeX code.
|
|
|
|
Task: designing a macro substitution system that reads from a file
|
|
(possibly the same file as the document's) the macros and parses the document
|
|
doing the appropriate replacements
|
|
|
|
This is very useful, because sometimes you have a big expression in a macro
|
|
and you want to change an index only. What do you do then?. You retype
|
|
everything (perhaps several times in the document) or you create extremely
|
|
generic and parametrizable macros that aren't very fast to fill in the
|
|
majority of cases.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- cut&paste inside math-mode doesn't work the X fashion (middle button doesn't
|
|
paste anything).

Jules Bean:
|
|
|
|
The number of characters which need to be typed
|
|
is the confusing nature of the command. 'M-c m', typed once, puts you into
|
|
math-mode. However, typing 'M-c m' again doesn't put you out of math-mode
|
|
--- it puts you into math-text mode. Then hitting it again puts you back
|
|
into normal math-mode. IMO, 'modal' keys should either be idempotent (so
|
|
hitting it the second time does nothing) or self-inverting. In fact, the
|
|
inverse to 'M-c m' is either 'ESC' or simply a space typed at the end of
|
|
the block --- which is confusing, since they're not of the same 'shape' as
|
|
the command that got you in there.
|
|
|
|
Now, I'm not saying that 'space' shouldn't be allowed as a short-cut to get
|
|
you out of math-mode; it's a most useful and natural one, I like it a lot.
|
|
However, on balance I think M-c m should also have that effect.
|
|
|
|
3) Math-mode inconsistencies
|
|
|
|
Sometimes 'the same action' has the same keystroke both within and
|
|
without math-mode. This is very sensible. However, it is very annoying when
|
|
they don't behave the way you're expecting them to.
|
|
|
|
For example, 'M-c e' puts you into 'emphasise' mode. Ignoring the fact
|
|
that in text mode this is italics, and in math-mode it stands for the
|
|
calligraphic character set, I think of these as the same action, so I like
|
|
the fact that they have the same keys. However, in math-mode, 'M-c e' is
|
|
idempotent, (and you need 'M-c space' to get back into normal) whereas in
|
|
text-mode 'M-c e' is self-inverse. These are the two possibilities I listed
|
|
as acceptable before, but consistency would be nice ;-) IMO, self-inverse
|
|
would be best for both.
|
|
|
|
5) Proposal : a 'ligatures' or 'autocorrect' system
|
|
|
|
One of the very minor, but useful, features of TeX is the way it lets you
|
|
type the nearest approximation to what you want using a 'typewriter
|
|
keyboard', and substitutes the typographically neat equivalent. In
|
|
particular, 'fancy' quotes (") and en and em dashes (---). I propose that
|
|
this UI element could be taken up a level into LyX, with a system that does
|
|
the following (for example):
|
|
|
|
-> becomes \rightarrow
|
|
<- becomes \leftarrow
|
|
=> becomes \Rightarrow (etc..)
|
|
==> becomes \Longrightarrow (etc..)
|
|
|
|
This may only be appropriate in math mode, of course. This family bug me
|
|
in particular because they take ages to type using a \-escape. Undoubtedly
|
|
sharp minds will think of others, and also we need some way of actually
|
|
typing those sequences as literals when we want them.
|
|
|
|
6) Scope macros:
|
|
|
|
The current macro system is clever, but could be neater. One improvement
|
|
I'd like is to let LyX know about TeX's scoping rules...

Yves Bastide:
|
|
|
|
- use AMS's \text instead of \mbox. It supports accented characters,
|
|
among others... (selected via validate()?)

- make math lables editable
