Or emacs? (^c^b). This has been a source of minor frustration to me as well. Say I open 10 files (or 3 -- both happen). The last opened appears at the top of the list (formerly in the document menu, now the view menu). If I want to switch between that document and one somewhere in the "middle" rapidly, I have to remember the relative location of that file entry. I want to put all my mental energy into my creative task and forget the underlying technology as much as possible. OK, I love the technology (lyx, latex, TeX, Bib management and all the manifold layers) and sometimes I have to "get it" to set something up or to fix something that broke (probably because I did something stupid). Point is, when I work, I want to forget the technology and attend to the writing.
