Would be nice but as far as I can tell there is no way to retrieve all defined macros in TeX. One can only check for a specific macro and even that would be misleading as any standard TeX macro might have vanished at the point where you try to insert it in LyX. > Probably some very simple variation on autocompletion would bring most of the > benefit, even if it simply autocompleted the maximal prefix common to all > commands that match the typed prefix (which doesn't require new UI elements, > just looking up commands and inserting characters). Looking up commands is the problem here... Andre'
