Not bad for starters. The obvious next candidate would be a context menu
for the formula type. Or left/right delimiters...
Well. You miss something that wasn't said: It would be nice if that
context 'menu' 'scaled' up to a degree where macro definitions could
be handled as well. This is more or less an arbitrary dialog popping
up, not just a list of words to select from.
