Among other things, yes. You could also bind a complex command with
loops, test and whatever to a single key.

 Yes, I know that but this behaves as (copy; paste).  What I'd like to have
 is
 (cut; paste).
 text, just by dragging the text around with middle mouse button pressed. 
 
  Another way of putting it is a 'move' command. Besides being handy it would
  eliminate the possibility of doing the cut, having some minor accident happen
  and the buffer getting filled with something else so you can no longer
  paste.

 Even better would be a general editor for customizing sequences of commands.
 Then I could make this thing myself.  I think you have done a GREAT job in
 letting the user define those layouts; and you could do the same with 
 
 - keyboard clicks
 - arbitrary commands 
 - complex Latex commands.

This would be extremely handy.

Hello,

what I miss very much from Lyx (which you have in Word and others) is to
mark a text, and then to drag it with held left mouse to another place in
the document.
For me, this saves a lot of cut/paste work.

Any plans to support it?

I don't know.  But it ist always possible to mark text with the left
mouse (or shift-cursor) and then insert it at some other point by
klicking the middle mouse at that location (without left-clicking there
before!).

Just to note an idea for that sort of stuff:
a really good feature of Emacs is the ability to mark a beginning of a block
by left-clicking, mark the end by right-clicking, and then if right-clicking
again it cuts the block.
It is even possible to paste it anywhere you want by middle-clicking (even
after the block disappeared if you just cut it!).
So you can just do the same thing as Drag'n'drop move in a matter of clicks
(which is, in my opinion, easier than a held-left-mouse selection.)

 A *very* definitely, AOL-like YES, MEE TOO  for that.
 I often start doing that in LyX until I recognize I'm not in emacs...

  A standard set of editing tools from the keyboard would be very helpful. 
  I don't care if its emacs or vi or old dos wordstar like commands.

   Not the same as the above but related, At least for fvwm the standard 
   has been double click highlights (first button) a word, triple click 
   highlights a line and the second button pastes a selection,and 
   other variations on the buttons exist also.  This seems to be missing 
   from Lyx (although it exists from another application to lyx)
   There also it seems there are no standard keyboard editing features
   (Cut a line,word and copy elsewhere,delete a word,line, keyboard macros
   etc)

Thomas I have 2 little suggestions for new features:

Thomas Makeindex: In the dialog box for new index entries could be

Thomas bzw. "|textit" in order to generate a bold bzw. emphasized

Hi,

Unfortunately, this would really be too particular and some people
would just come and ask why it is not possible to get a slanted page
number... 

Thomas Fontshape \slshape: Why is there no entry in the Reference
Thomas Manual and no command/shurtcut for \slshape? Wasn't it there
Thomas in an earlier release? It is nice i.e. in theorem
Thomas environments. Or have I been to stupid to find it?  (It in of
Thomas course in the layout-charakter menue.)

There is no particular function for slanted because people probably
felt it did not deserve it... It is not difficult to implement but, as
usual, you would have more chances to see this done if you provided
some code :)

Re: New feature suggest

Another feature I'd like to see is the ability to print just the TOC from
within LyX.

Though, if someone could tell me what I can do with the file.toc I get
from exporting a LyX file, then runnin LaTeX on it, that might get me through.
(I know nothing about (La)Tex :(

Thanks,
