Indeed. I'm glad that somebody decided to take a look.

Please wait a bit. I'd like to port the code from the old devel branch
to the new one, after what the menu will be simply defined in lyxrc.

Agreed.

Yes.

So, you add a View and a Goto menu, but you remove TOC and Refs,
right? It seems good to me.

Edit-> Table->Insert Table
Insert-> Table

Yes.

The idea seems good. Lets' see what the others think.
