This shows the problem very well. I do not care about you. I do not care about me either. If we were to design LyX to suit our habits, we would just get that: a program with one user. Contrary to you, I never said that inset were a o-no. I just said that the current interface shows the bowels of the code. In the case of mathed, I use the inset metaphor because there is no way out, but in many cases, it makes me use more keystrokes than latex would, and being used to type <space> repeatedly to go out of an inset means that one eventually gets out of the formula and have to go back in it. This sucks. I do not want to have such a way of working in text. It is as simple as that. But the proper solution is still open in my mind. JMarc
