Rich, Steve,
that was a rhetorical question of course :-)-O
I do however find that whenever I find myself using ERT I always try and
look for a LyX way to do it, because I don't like ERT :-)-O
I do the same, but I think that Rich makes a valid point about using the
keyboard vs. the mouse. In my experience, there are many LyX functions
for which it appears the only way to access them is through a mouse (or
trackpad, etc.). I'm old enough to remember working with DOS and
WordStar style keystroke combinations and I learned to fly on the
keyboard. Even when learning GUIs in the early days of Windows, I always
looked for keyboard shortcuts as I hated the interruption of taking my
fingers off the home row and onto a mouse. This is especially true in a
function like word processing that is heavy on typing. I'm always
frustrated when I can't easily find a keyboard shortcut for a LyX
function, so I can understand why someone might resort to ERT just to
avoid interrupting the flow of the work.
