Hello!
First about the popups: I think in 1.5.x, if they don't appear it's a
bug in the rendering code in fact because the math mode does not
detect the cursor correctly going into the macro.
The behaviour that macros popup was the starting point for me to think
about redoing the LyX macro code. In my thesis I define terms with a
lot of macros and moreover a lot of macro nesting. With the macro
editing bahaviour in 1.5.x the vertical space grows exponentially with
the nesting depth. So you need a very big screen if you want to nest
them more than a few times.
The new approach is discussed on http://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/Macros.
Meanwhile the option D is implemented in the development version. Some
time ago I did a screencast at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68Gys4rp3u4
. You can see there how the macros are looking and bahaving now in
the svn repository.
It seems that there is still interest in the old list-like editing
bahaviour by some people. So probably you will have the choice between
both.
As Abdel pointed out there is the branch of the 1.5 version where I
developed all this. It's not very up to date. In fact I am not even
sure that it compiles because I tried the merge to the 1.6 version
there at the beginning. Not sure whether I reverted properly.
If you have suggestions for improvements, please tell me. Now is the
time to think about how to get it right. I use the code frequently in
my work and I am mostly happy with them. But there is certainly room
for improvements.
Regards,
Stefan

Hi lyx-team (Or others)!
Thanks for the great work! I was about to post a couple of bug-reports
and suggestions about the 1.4-version, and discovered yesterday that
my
system is out of date and that 1.5 has fixed a lot of problems and
added
very nice features! Nevertheless, I guess I will contribute frequently
now feedbacks and perhaps bug-reports to these formus. So hope you
will
appreciate ;-)
But for now, I have only one silly question: I was absolutely happy to
see that math-macros do not any longer pop up automatically when one
navigates through them (something that annoyed me very much in the
past). But by chance I have changed this feature (don't know how), and
the macros are popping up again :-(
Please, can anybody tell me, how to switch this off???
Thanks a lot, Sebastian
