Álvaro Tejero Cantero - 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.
