It's been driving me up the wall for as long as the autocomplete feature has been around. I want the same behavior as Scott described: tab autocomplete in math only. I use tables all the time; it's my main reason for not using TeX (moving columns around is too hard in TeX). And I'm just as likely to input text as numbers or other things, so this comes up at least a few times during each writing session. It seems like no-autocomplete should actually be the default, or at least as easy to disable as automatic spellcheck correction. I saw a similar discussion on lyx-devel a while back about enabling continuous spellcheck by default, and I almost jumped in with a "please god no". This sort of behavior and bloat is what sent a lot of us running away from "word processors" back in the early 2000's, and even in MS Word there is a way to turn all that stuff off. > Scott > -- > lyx-devel mailing list > lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org > http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel >
