Hello everyone,

I've just spent two hours or so looking for a solution for my problem on the internet, but I failed it seems. I even looked through the LyX ressource file to find a way to disable that feature by force, but this wasn't productive either.

I'd like to disable LyX' automatic typesetting mechanism that makes my \frac into two blue boxes with a fraction bar between them, that is, I want to write 'pure' LaTeX code in math mode.

Maple has an option for that, for example. You can let it typeset a fractions if you type / and exponents if you type ^, or you can disable that feature and it will display the plain code.

I find the 2d math mode slightly annoying, especially when writing fractions and exponents since one has to use the arrow keys rather often. I *could* use ERT, but I like the preview mechanism for formulas in LyX, and I don't have that for ERT.

I hope I described my problem well enough and that someone can give me a hint.

Thanks in advance,

  Denis Grelich
