Hello,
Pablo Let me make a few suggestions , to improove this good
Pablo points of LyX:
Pablo 1) To make Lyx faster and easier to use , it would be nice
Pablo to be able to enter a big \ just like in latex (I mean
Pablo \left( ) (or pèrhaps there is a shot-cut I don't know)
Something like 'M-m (' ? I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
Pablo 2) In the () menu from the math panel , there should be a
Pablo button "Both" (besides "Right" and "Left" , since this is
Pablo what we mean most of the time.
Right.
Pablo 3) I also suggest that combinations of keys like ctrl+arrow
Pablo could draw the corresponding arrow (I mean: this would be
Pablo easy to remember)
You can always bind that for yourself. Currently ctrl+arrow is used
for cursor movment, and I think it is more useful.
Pablo 4) There are several latex options wich are aveliable from
Pablo lyx (of course I don't expect to have all the latex
Pablo features) : for example why don't we have theorems , lemmas
Pablo ,etc. in the standard latex article ?
We'll be working on this in the future.
Thanks for your comments.
