Dear LyX developers,
I've been documenting a LaTeX program recently and have found the
documentation toolbar useful, but this has highlighted a couple of
symbols which could usefully be added to the toolbar. One is the
section mark character § (\S in LaTeX), the other the pilcrow ¶ (\P).
At present inserting these characters involves Insert > Special
Character > Symbols and then locating the characters in the character
table (which means scrolling down or increasing the depth of the
dialogue window). They would fit perhaps after the information symbol `i'.
Referring to chapter 4 or section 4.3 is fine but it begins to sound
strained referring to subsection 4.3.2 and just silly referencing
subsubsection 4.3.2.1. On the other hand, referencing §4.3.2.1 is
simple and elegant.
I'm not much up on toolbars, but I have:
\bind "C-M-S-s" "unicode-insert 0x00A7"
\bind "C-M-S-p" "unicode-insert 0x00B6"
in user.bind, which produce those two characters.

Presumably you've added these yourself? They're not in any of the .bind
files that come with LyX as far as I can see. Rather than copy these as
shortcuts, I've added
Item "§" "unicode-insert 0x00A7"
Item "¶" "unicode-insert 0x00B6"
to the documentation toolbar in my personal copy of stdtoolbars.inc. I
won't have to remember the shortcuts that way. Thanks,
Andrew
