Well if you can do this for 1.2.0 I would say go for it, but IMO you're
overlooking quite a lot of stuff (finally I made the InsetText and know
what to look at) and a lot of code duplication you won't have using a
single inset. Anyway we need this now. It's NOT a hack (just one bool)
it's NO file-format change doing it the way I said, so I'll propose a patch
for this and I'll only accept a "Stop" if you can come up with the propper
solution before we release 1.2.0.

Well looking for this I've just seen that ?Jean-Marc? already inserted
some code in bool Paragraph::insertFromMinibuffer(pos) where he checks
for permitted insets (good move). Here we would also have to call a
function with the "character" and insert the "returned" one if !0.
Something like:
if (checkInsertChar(minbuffer_char, minibuffer_font))
insertChar(pos, minibuffer_char, minibuffer_font);
bool Paragraph::checkInsertChar(Paragraph::value_type & c, LyXFont & font)
{
if (pimpl_->inset_owner)
return pimpl_->inset_owner->checkInsertChar(c, font);
return true;
}
Should be easy and clean shouldn't it?
