-
-General hints for bug reports:
-
- - keep the items small
-
- - do not provide excessive information on how to reproduce the bug
- if this is obvious
-
- - if a bug is partly fixed, report it as "fixed" and a new bug item
- that contains the unfixed part only
-
- - check this list regularly, comment on the marked items.
-
- - plain ASCII text please, not much more than 70 chars per column

- I suggest creating a different "kewybinding namespace" for the formulas,
since you could put to good use all those keybindings from the menu (M-?,
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.

Jules Bean:
-a) If something's easy & quick in LaTeX then it should be easy & quick in
-LyX (unless it really isn't very common). b) Actions which are used
-frequently should be a single key-press, even if that's not very easy to
-remember. You learn it. c) Actions which are used rarely should be
-mnemonic -- easy to remember -- even if they are multiple keypresses.
-Things you do rarely you care less about the time it takes to perform.
-
-As an aside, you may think that I'm whining over nothing. However, when
-you enter math mode as often as I do (often more than once a sentence) it
-gets very annoying, especially as compared to simply typing '$' in plain
-emacs. Also, you may say 'why don't you just change your bindings file?'. I
-will ;) but I wanted to start some discussion on this since it can benefit
-everyone!

-More serious, though, than the number of characters which need to be typed
+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
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...

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