This would be a nice thing indeed. A workaround for current LyX 1.3.x would be a Centred-Standard layout style # Centered Standard style definition Style CenteredStandard CopyStyle Standard Align Center End This Style could get a keybinding, so centering the figure becomes possible. With the KeepEmpty 1 optin, it would be even possible to have "float-insert figure" insert not only a caption-style paragraph by default, but also a preceding (empty) paragraph for the figure. This could help avoiding the FAQ: "how do I place a figure in a float?" --> write the caption, goto the start, press Enter, insert the float. Günter -- G.Milde web.de
