This is consistent for me across two XP Pro boxes and one XP Home box, and IIRC has worked since LyX 1.3.6 at least. Forget my remark, I'm with Sparc Solaris... -- Jean-Pierre

keyboard access to environment selection menu
Dear all, how do I activate/access (whatever you call it) the drop-down menu for setting the paragraph environment without the mouse? I know there are direct keyboard shortcuts for specific environments, but I can't or don't want to memorize them. What I'm hoping for is to get the focus on that menu by a key combination, and then using arrow keys to select the desired environment. I hope it's possible, or else consider it a feature request Thanks, Sven
