I would like to revert the minibuffer behavior of my 1.4.x LyX
installation to the behavior I had under 1.3.x. That is:
1. No minibuffer is shown as default
2. M-x opens the minibuffer for input (and gains focus too)
3. at the end of minibuffer editing, the minibuffer itself is
closed.
I cannot replicate step 3: the mini-buffer, once opened remains
opened. Any suggestion?
Thanks,

I'd like to second this request. There should be a way to get rid
of the minibuffer after invoking it. I have the line
"minibuffer" "off,bottom"
in my user interface file "default.ui". When I invoke the command
line with the key for "command-execute", it appears at the bottom,
but I don't know a way to hide it again. It seems logical to me
that if the default is "off", then LyX should return to that state
after executing a command from the minibuffer.

You can get rid of the minibuffer by right clicking in an empty
space on the toolbar and unchecking it. That said, I'd like to see
M-x toggle the minibuffer (open it if closed, close it if open).
Having to click (twice) to get rid of it is a bit awkward, not to
mention less than widely publicized.
I'm not sure I second the notion of automatically closing the
minibuffer after each command; it's conceivable someone might want
to type in a sequence of commands (for instance, define several
math macros in a single orgy of typing).

Paul,
great, thanks for the hint. It's always fun to discover some new
hidden feature. That trick is good enough for me, since I don't
actually invoke the minibuffer all that often.
