How would you tell "math stuff" from "text"?
Is it possible to internally save this information at copy-time (and at
paste-time default to "text" if it comes from external)?
Personally, I often copy parts of formulas into the text (as inline math),
which means copy -> create inset -> paste, and which could be reduced to
copy->paste. I do not see a use for having something like
"f_{\tilde{N}}(\tilde{x})" pasted as text, except in ERT of course.
Interaction with external application. Like cut&paste to plain text
editors when co-operating wirh people using .tex "natively", or to
applications that "understand" .tex like xfig...
I see. But does that conflict with how it is pasted _within_ LyX ?
Is this intended behavior, or may I file this as an enhancement request?
Intended behaviour.
But IMHO from a UI-design perspective not the best idea. Within LyX math
should stay math. The beginner/average user should not get to see the
underlying latex for a thing as simple as a formula.
Anyhow, I certainly do not want to 'argue' about anything. I only try to
contribute by giving feedback about bugs or things that bother me.
I am using LyX a lot these days (for math stuff), and I am so VERY
grateful to all you!!! Even though I know Latex well enough, I could not
imagine writing in plain latex anymore.
Thanks so much,
Konrad
