Permit me to describe the situation. Hopefully, you can tell "what to do" or "what to set" (or you can prioritize an upgrade).I have a long document with many (more than 100) equations and many tables. To generate an internal cross-reference to an equation, ... 1. I right-click on the equation. 2. I select (from the now-evident choices) "copy as reference." 3. I right-click in the document at the place in which I want to have a cross reference. 4. I select "paste." 5. This leaves something of the form "Ref: eq: ...". 6. I right-click on that and select “(<Reference>).” 7. This leaves something of the form “EqRef:...”. My request features a desire to obtain the result (7. above) without having to cope with (at least) steps 5 and 6. Trying to use "Insert > Cross-reference" is prohibitively difficult. The list from which to make a selection is too big. I would think that a "remember and act on the last choice" feature would be a benefit for many people. In my case, I want all cross-references to equations to be of the same form ("EqRef: ..."). It may be reasonable to suppose that many other people would want (after making a one-time setting or a first-time choice) uniformity throughout a document.
This is the use-case Scott mentioned. It sounds like remembering the last choice is what would be best here, yes?
This is slightly tricky to do, but hardly impossible. Riki -- lyx-devel mailing list lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel
