I like it. It is also consistent with Vim (after entering a command with ':' you are put back in normal mode). I did indeed need to remove the .config/LyX file. In limited testing it works well. Regarding your comment "No need to keep the minibuffer open anymore" can you add why to the comment? Is it because a command was just executed? Also, what if you misspelled the command you entered so that the command is disabled? Should the mini-buffer stay open so you can correct it quickly and enter it (without having to open the mini-buffer again)? I don't have much of an opinion on this but would be interested in your thoughts. Scott
