Is a list of math macros very different from a list of ERT insets?
Will both contain cryptic code?

Oh great, thanks a ton for this tip!

Every math-macro has a unique name (as it defines a macro which is later
used by this name), while an ERT inset can contain arbitrary
LaTeX code, usually just calling already defined macros.

Right. So this is about a collection of macro names. Same approach
would be useful with Sweave/knitr chunks, using their labels (and
numbering, especially when labels are missing) in the Outliner.

As of now, there is a list of math macros in the navigation menu and the

can now be accessed and ordered either by appearance or alphabetically, and

Yes if we implement lists of custom insets then it would be easy to make 
an inset argument behave like a caption from the outliner point of view 
using the new 2.2 implementation. This can be discussed in 
.

Searching in math macros

2015-10-01 Thread David 
Dear Lyx users,

I work on a document that contains a long list of math macros defining
various mathematical symbols. I would like to search in this list.

Please consider the example Lyx file attached. How could I find, for
example, \speedOfLight ?  I have tried Edit > Find (Quick) and Edit >
Find (Advanced), but without luck.

Do you know a way to do this? Thanks in advance.

Regards,
David

I often found myself in the same situation and there was no solution to 
my knowledge.


As of now, there is a list of math macros in the navigation menu and the 
outline pane. Especially the outline pane works well for that: math 
macros can now be accessed and ordered either by appearance or 
alphabetically, and can be searched for using the filter.


One more reason to be impatient for the 2.2 release.
