I Noticed a fringe benefit to doing it this way BTW...
One of my pet peeves about the new spell checker is that the sidebar
doesn't go away when I escape out of it AND there doesn't seem to be a way
to assign a keyboard shortcut to the act of dismissing it.
{I strongly dislike having to use my sometimes non-existent mouse pointer
coordination to position the durned pointer on that tiny little "x" long
enough to click on it...}
Well that fringe benefit is that since the garbage .lyx file ONLY contains
the text I actually want to spellcheck, I start spellchecking by first
pressing <ctrl>+<home> Then <F7> so when it gets to the end of the garbage
file the spellchecker knows it just checked the whole file. (Assuming I
didn't have to interrupt it in mid process) and then when it reaches the end
of the file that durned sidebar automatically goes away.
{You know the one. I'm talking about the sidebar that in my humble opinion
should go away by itself every time spell checking is <escape>ed out of... So
that by it's very presence on screen I could know that the enter key would
"push" the currently selected sidebar button rather than replacing the
hi-lighted word with a new paragraph...}
