It is quite simple and in line with other insets: * Backspace at the first position in the inset converts it to normal text (in this case LaTeX code (without beeing marked as ERT)) Now edit ... * Highlight and Ctrl-M converts it back to a Math inset. If all you want is simple editing, there is no urgent need to have it as ERT in the meantime. > i was talking about something like "Switch to ERT/Math" > item in context menu so even normal users get the idea... OK, I see 2 advantages: 1. no need to place the cursor or highlight 2. you can compile while the Math is editible (as ERT) that might offset the cost of added complexity. Günter
