Can I make it a bit more accessible and not hidden under custom

This is a major design flaw of this approach, IMHO.

Yes, something would have to be done about this: a combo box, or an
automatic toolbar. But I think this is a more general issue with custom
insets, not specific to beamer-flex.



There is an enhancement request for this sort of thing: a combo box,
like for layouts, that could be put on the toolbars.

But still, you would need to
1. put the cursor outside the inset
2. use the mouse to enter a new frame

whereas currently, starting a new frame from within a frame is a one-
keystroke action.

I agree. I was imagining a new lfun that splits a text inset into two,
at the location of the cursor, similar to the current environment-split
for environments. One use is to create a new inset after the current
one.


Also, these flex insets cannot be reordered by the outliner, and
reordering frames is a crucial function at least for me.

I am not worried about this one. One advantage of flex insets is that
they are easier to select as a whole and also in sequence, making
copy-paste an appropriate tool. (In contrast, the outliner does not let
us move several frames at once.)


IMHO the flex idea sounds neat in theory, but in practice has too many
shortcomings (which all, arguably, can be solved).


I think the new lfun is the only one to be really urgent.
