Hi all,

I'm a new LyX user. I tried this editor for several days and liked it.
But I also come up with many inconvinieces when using it. I wish lyx can
be improved (in my perspective) in the following ways:

1. Things on the left part of the math panel (functions etc.) can also
be organized in the same way as those on the right. Doing this will
allow the math panel to be more flexibly resized (e.g. to be thing and
tall, or wide and flat).

2. If the previous feature is acheived, I'd like the math panel be
dockable onto the main window (in a way similar to that many other apps
dock their tool panels).

3. The focus had better transfer back to the main edit window after
clicking a symbol on the math panel, so that the user can imediately
continue editing. (I'm using lyx qt front-end on both windows and linux,
this does not happen to me).

4. TeXmacs defined a well orgnized set of short cuts for math editing
(http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/manual/webman-math.en.html). I think it
will be nice if lyx adopt this or similar short cuts. Short cuts for
symbols can be shown as tool tips on the math panel, to facilitate learning.

5. Is it possible to build a tool that assist writing lyx layout files
by giving one (or more) example tex suorce(s)? This tool will have to
PARTIALLY UNDERSTAND latex commands so as to identify enviroments and
their attributes.

Thanks for taking the time reading.
