Jürgen, Thank you for working to clean-up the Insert menu and for moving around a couple of the items. Am I correct that these ui.diff changes haven't yet been applied? I don't see them as of 8d8ee12e. Is the logic behind the reorganization to isolate direct-TeX interacting elements to the bottom (and to better separate the Arguments, both of which I like the idea of)? Regardless, rather than split the menu elements that are present regardless of document type (presently Table through Preview), does it make sense to instead append the separated regions of Environments and Arguments to the bottom of the menu such that it will grow, as appropriate, rather than shift around contents? A couple other questions/comments: 1. Your commit 8f86feb prepends "Insert" to context menus. I cannot see where these are shown. Can you help me understand what changed here? Sorry for my ignorance. 2. In looking for the above, I notice that in the Preferences -> Editing -> Shortcuts, there is a "separator-insert" function. Given past changes to Beamer in LyX, should this be removed? 3. In looking for the above in Preferences -> Editing -> Shortcuts, should the environment insertion functions added to the Insert menu that we're discussing be added to receive shortcut key assignment? A search for "insert" and "frame" did not reveal them to me. Thanks, Joel P.S. Sorry to feel like an overzealous hawk, but I've spent an inordinate amount of time in LyX with Beamer over the past year or so, so improvements are dear to me. Since we're (you're) working in the area, many of the thoughts I've had while using it are bubbling forth. Bottom line: I truly appreciate your selfless work on this!
