Word has no additional menu options but saves different settings for context-sensitive toolbars.

For example, for the picture toolbar you have two different settings. One on/off setting when working on normal text and one on/off setting when a picture is selected. Word remembers both.

Whenever you enable the toolbar in normal text mode, it is also enabled automatically in the picture mode. Of course disabling the toolbar in picture mode also causes it to be disabled in the normal text mode.

If we apply this method to the LyX math and table toolbars the menu can stay like it is. To summarize:

Math toolbar enabled outside math -> set normal setting and math-specific setting to on.

Math toolbar disabled outside math -> set normal setting to off.

Math toolbar enabled inside math -> set math-specific setting to on.

Math toolbar disabled inside math -> set normal setting and math-specific setting to off.

The result is the same as the on/off/auto system.

Of course this does not apply to toolbars like review that can be used in all situations. Here you only have to remember a single setting.

Bo, would it be possible to add this to your LyX 1.5 session management system?

After it's there I think the toolbar management should also go into 1.4.
