How about a consistent behaviour of ERT, math, note, and other insets: If the cursor is on the very beginning and you press Backspace, the inset is dissolved and the content inserted as normal text. Currently, this works with ERT, ... but not math (where the cursor just moves out of the box). This way, you can convert an equation to the source text (which might be desirable for copying as well). The other way round is already implemented: Mark a valid math expression (like \sin(x)) and press Ctrl-M. (Having to mark the equation before the (back)conversion might be a disadvantage over a toggle. However, a toggle and a separate "raw math" state would need to be programmed and remembered separately. For "heavy users" I'd recommend a command sequence that sets a bookmark (or two) before the math-text conversion.) Günter
