But if you leave it on the preamble screen, then M-l d takes you directly to the preamble "tab", and even has the focus there. > Is there an LFUN with an argument that I could bind to "M-l r" (as in > Xforms)?

Auto-apply is a temporary hack in the attempt to make this a bit more usable until we have character styles, in which case this will all be completely different. It simply applies any change you make immediately. Try it with "Underbar". > Suggestion: Adding a temporary visual mark to the current paragraph, > i.e. the one that will be affected would be nice.

Nobody is fond of tabs, if it was possible then there would be no tabbed dialogs in lyx *at all*. > Question: What does "Keep space" do? Makes the space you set happen even if the paragraph is at the top (or the bottom) of a page etc. > Is there a keyboard binding (or LFUN) for switching tab?

And move the "Two-..." settings back to "Style" Merging is not the right way to go. We should re-organize. The dialog panels are large enough as they are. regards, john
