It is easy to add buttons for \sum or \int.

You can add pairs of matching delimiters by simply typing M-m (, M-m [,
M-m {.

Dear list, I wonder if it is possible to add a tool button which will open the delimiter and bracket dialog directly without going through the math panel. I find that I often use this as well as the insert matrix dialog and it would be convenient to reach these without going through the math panel. It is easy to add buttons for \sum or \int. Perhaps my patience is required here; I have seen hints that version 1.4 of Lyx will make steps toward breaking the rather cumbersome (opinion) math panel in smaller pieces. thanks, Bill -- ** William O.

I I don't think this is possible in 1.3.
