hello, i noticed that math macros exist. i want something similar, but in my
text. i'm writing a text about a cs problem called "minimum KT distance",
which is a noun. and I'm really tired of typing that name and then setting
it to be a noun. isn't there a quicker way?
Yes, but not directly in LyX. You can use normal LaTeX macros by
defining them in your preamble, e.g.:
\newcommand{\mktd}{minimum KT distance}
and then putting \mktd in ERT where you want it. You can also define a
keyboard binding to do that for you.
Text macros are something it'd be nice to have, though.
