I think the combo box is a great idea. "None" should indeed just dissolve the current inset (and thus not exist in top level text). We have currently an LFUN_INSET_DISSOLVE ... do we need a separate one for charstyles only? About changing charstyle type, I suppose that needs an LFUN too. Should not be hard. How to distinguish change from insertion? Two combo boxes? Or an insert/replace toggle button? Or should the default be replace inside a pre-existing charstyle, and insert in the top level text? (and forcible, nested insert only through the menu?) - Martin
