I would like to revert the minibuffer behavior of my 1.4.x LyX
installation to the behavior I had under 1.3.x. That is:
1. No minibuffer is shown as default
2. M-x opens the minibuffer for input (and gains focus too)
3. at the end of minibuffer editing, the minibuffer itself is closed.
I cannot replicate step 3: the mini-buffer, once opened remains
opened. Any suggestion?
Thanks,

I'd like to second this request. There should be a way to get rid of
the minibuffer after invoking it. I have the line
"minibuffer" "off,bottom"
in my user interface file "default.ui". When I invoke the command
line with the key for "command-execute", it appears at the bottom,
but I don't know a way to hide it again. It seems logical to me that
if the default is "off", then LyX should return to that state after
executing a command from the minibuffer.

You can get rid of the minibuffer by right clicking in an empty space
on the toolbar and unchecking it. That said, I'd like to see M-x
toggle the minibuffer (open it if closed, close it if open). Having
to click (twice) to get rid of it is a bit awkward, not to mention
less than widely publicized.
I'm not sure I second the notion of automatically closing the
minibuffer after each command; it's conceivable someone might want to
type in a sequence of commands (for instance, define several math
macros in a single orgy of typing).
Closing the minibuffer automatically is (would be) best for those of us
with limited screen real estate. I only use LyX on a 12" powerbook, and
every pixel is precious. Next to best would be changing the behavior of
Alt-x to toggle-minibuffer, as suggested. Certainly less awkward than
right clicking and selecting the right option, especially on a Mac,
when right-clicking means ctrl-click. Perhaps the optimal solution
would be to have three configurable options in the ui. files: on | off
| toggle. That would make everyone happy, I guess, but it might not be
trivial
Cheers,
Stefano
