If we consider the "left align in the GUI but default in print" option a power-user feature, the layout keyword seems the "minimal invasive" option to achieve it in a widely configurable way both, * as GUI setting (via changed standard layout include files in a ~/.lyx folder and * document-specific (via a module) In both cases, it can be applied globally to all Styles with default alignment (given there is proper inheriting of the default layout from Standard style) as well as specifically to a selected subset of Styles. So, yes, I want this keyword. Günter
