Yes. Or even just a single button, marked "EvnOpts" or something, and if
you press that you get a dialog allowing you to enter whatever there is
to enter. The box shouldn't be a separate inset, like Short Title, but
instead would get drawn with the environment somehow. The former
solution leads to lots of problems.
Hmmm, it can be an inset without looking like one. You can do a lot of
visual remodelling of insets nowadays ;-)
The good thing about this being an inset is that you can enter full
LyXText into it, generating full LaTeX.
Right. The problem with these Short Title insets, as I see it, is that
we need to do a lot of dancing to keep them in the right place., viz, at
the front of the paragraph. Whereas if the inset were somehow bound to
the paragraph, and drawn by it (so to speak), then you don't have to
worry about that. But maybe the two ideas can be combined, so that it
really is an inset, with all the benefits and responsibilities thereof,
but still it has no "independent existence", so to speak.
