Yes but IMHO it will be better if you show them also in the status bar after 
closing the dialog. This way, if you don't remember the succession of mouse 
clicks you can still see the shortcut. One question though:
In the Insert Menu both "Citation Reference" dialog and "Lists & TOCS" submenu 
have the letter "C" underligned, so what is the shortcut to access the "Lists 
& TOCS" submenu?
Another related problem (IMHO) is that, in math, when I want to insert the 
greek letter alpha for exemple, I type M-g-a or \alpha-"space". When I do so 
with the math panel, the status bar just say: math-insert alpha. Won't it be 
better if it also indicates the two shortcuts or at least the first one 
(M-g-a)?

But please, don't bother with this, you probably have better things to do for 
now like bug fixing...

I'd like both ;)

Thanks anyway, 
Abdel.
