This is not the only problem: If we made the delimiter a cell we would have bad UI IMHO: Enter the inset and type somthing. Then leave it, and it will change from a cell to something else with different dimensions. This is the case for macros already, but to use your words: That does not make it any better. In the case of macros there is a need to edit the arguments, but big delimiters are IMHO more like symbols (and it is to my knowledge not possible to change the delimiter of a \left...\right combination after inserting it, so that would be consistent). > In any case, all magic should go to interpret() & Co., not to > LCursor::plainInsert(). That works for one-character delimiters, but not for things like \Vert. It should be possible to introduce a second interpret method that is called from LCursor::macroModeClose() and LCursor::insert(). Would that be OK with you? If you want I'll revert the changes to plainInsert, but I am not going to implement the cell based solution, since I don't like it UI-wise at all. Georg
