Sorry for my delay, i am not a 'heavy' news readers user.
I do not know whether that feature would be popular, but it would be
useful for a number of lyx users.
I am not able to 'learn' how not to make typos. Do you?
I learn not to make _specific_ typographical errors, and the facility
that you request would only deal with sets of specific errors.
Is is not a matter of learning,
Of course it is.
it is our mind functioning that swaps letter
positions or doubles next letters while quickly writing text lines
Typing isn't an inborn skill; it is something that one learns.
Learning to type a word and learning not to mistype it are the same
thing.
Restoring the correct letters order for each word quickly would be a
great favour to a number of long paper writers.
In the case of a long paper, as opposed to a set of papers, the
facility that you request doesn't offer much that global
find-and-replace doesn't already do. In either case, you are talking
about working from an assembled list of corrections. (Recall that your
original request involved a list assembled by the user of corrections
to make.)
