Some other dialogs/insets that could/should be made into collapsible
insets:
LaTeX Preamble: just make sure you can't set/change a paragraph style
other than the LaTeX paragraph style.
This would need to always be present in every document.
It would also need to be unselectable. That is, it's position
should be -1 in the doc, since we usually start at 0.
probably a couple of others (we've discussed some of this before after
all).
Other insets could be converted to use the minibuffer. This would mainly
be little one or two short entry dialogs like Index and Label.
It'd be nice to arrange a framework for supporting Marko's emacs-like
dialog-in-a-buffer idea. It shouldn't be too difficult to come up with a
few helper functions for arranging things in columns and providing some
feedback as to which entry was selected -- it might even be possible to
configure a dialog-in-a-buffer as a smart document: build a real table of
options and/or entry fields for example (we already have a signal telling
us which cell of a table the cursor is in).
Of course we should wait till after 1.1.6 before starting on this. We've
already spent far too long adding new features to 1.1.6cvs. Our release
cycle times are getting longer and longer and I'm not sure of our
stability any more.
