Thank you Paul, alt-T opens the Tools menu just fine, so I will likely try it without a fixed Top Toolbar for a while as that might give me more typing space. So you answered my lyx question. Thanks much.
For what its worth, I note that my default.ui is all by itself in root>user>share>lyx>ui. default.ui is also in my /usr/share/lyx/ui/default.ui), along with stdtoolbars.inc, stdmenus.inc and stdcontext.inc, but lyx no longer points there for some reason. Not sure why my lyx is accessing root>user>share>lyx>ui but am happy that I can now access the tools. John On Thursday, May 12, 2022 2:12:26 PM PDT Paul A.
