Sometimes I want to copy something from an itemize environment and

and just paste, LyX converts the layout to itemize. My workaround is
to type "a" and then paste. This way, the enumerate is preserved. Then
I delete the "a". I forget why I developed this habit rather than just
pasting, let LyX convert to itemize, then simply convert back to
enumerate. Perhaps the nesting was not fixed when I do this instead?
In any case, that's not ideal either.
Do others often run into a similar situation?
Yes, all the time. This is really annoying. However, if you want to
paste only text (no insets), put the following line in you user.bind file:
\bind "C-M-v" "clipboard-paste-simple"
and then use Ctrl+Alt+V for pasting.
Thank you Enrico. This solves for me a matter that has often irritated.
Strangely, the very first time I tried Ctrl+Alt+V, copying from itemize
to enumerate, the bullet from the itemize environment was also copied so
that the result looked like "1. * itemize" (where the asterisk denotes
the itemize bullet). I've been unable to reproduce since (in 2.4.0-alpha3).
