I very much agree with that, also Search and Replace in math-boxed is an often required feature. Just now, I save the lyx-file, open it in an editor (jed in my case) and do the replace over there, and finally do a File|Restore to get the chages into LyX. (A command to open the source in a customizable external editor would be a first step) Guenter BTW.: Would it possible to let Layouts|Preamble open the preamble in an external editor instead of the dumb grey xforms widget? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
