I was talking of the way how shortcuts appear in the menu. Today it is C-n and I think it should be changed to Ctrl+N like Gnome/KDE/Windows applications. > Like this (attached screen shot) you mean?

I think that Reconfigure and Preferences should be in a Configuration Menu and not in the Tools Menu. A nice usability enhancement for LyX 1.4 would be that when you create a new document, you get a wizard to choose the class of the document where we could put some explanations about the different classes. I think that here the Word-style Format->Document doesn't go well with the LateX paradigm where it is important to make the right choice at the start. For KWord we have this widget (see attached file 30 kb) when you start the application (some people like it, other hate it). Cheers, Charles -------- http://www.kde-france.org
