I agree that we need a decision on the way how to handle text-only commands in mathed and that this should be a decision backed by the developer community. I see that there are problems with both approaches. Advantages and problems have been discussed in this thread and on http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/9742 There may be combinations or other alternatives to the two proposals.

IMV, both proposals can be seen as departing/continuation of the current course: 9742-2.diff -> gives up the principle that LyX math syntax = LaTeX math syntax ^ retains "\<command> " input method for selected text commands in mathed (treats it as a logical extension of the mathed input concept). textcommands-in-math.patch -> removes patchy support for a few text-commands as input method in mathed (treats it as problematic side effect, not intended feature). ^ retains mathed as *math* editor. > Note that you cannot solve all the problems your patch > introduces by simply editing lib/symbols and lib/unicodesymbols.
