What about the following idea: Lets have a bool member 'lock' in MathNestInset. When this is set to 'true', the cursor does not enter the inset but rather handles the inset as "one big symbol". This would impose no navigation overhead for one-char-font-changes (which makes the majority of font changes according to /my/ usage pattern). The lock could be toggled by placing the cursor in front of the locked inset and issuing LFUN_INSET_TOGGLE. MathFontInsets could be made locked by default, so after creation there is no extra action needed to lock them, so UI won't change much. > Do we really want, for the sake of good code and intellectual > satisfaction, to have all documents littered with boxen?
