I apologize to Jeff for editing his comments so brutally. After using
LyX for almost a year, and after many years of AucTeX under emacs, I
share Jeff's enthusiasm for LyX, with one exception. The emacs search
and replace tools are far more functional and flexible than those in
LyX. Indeed, the LyX tool is so cumbersome and limited in
functionality that I frequently revert to searching a group of lyx
files with xemacs to find what I need.
Some features I'd like to see in LyX search and replace:
- regular expressions;
- search multiple files, like all of the chapters of a book project;
- initiate a search, find next, search backwards,replace yes/no all
from the keyboard without having to use the mouse;
- incremental search (like emacs).
If those features could be added into a future version of LyX, my
xemacs would fade away from lack of use.
