Hello,
is there any possibility to keep the window of tools/statistics opened
while working in LyX (I use 2.3.1.-1 on OSX10.13.6)? This woulöd be so
comfortable. Even better would be a possibility to document the daily
progress. There is no such function, or am I wrong?
Thanks, all best

Hi,
Its not possible because the window is modal
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_window). I think this could be
easily changed but that's not enough since it would not be updated
automatically. But I guess that's not that tricky to implement either.
LibreWriter, for example, shows the word count in the status bar. That
might be another solution. Why this is not implemented in LyX might be
because the word count - unlike in LibreWriter - is just a rough
estimate of the word count in the type setted version.
However, I agree that it would be great if LyX kept track of the number
of words written since the file was last opened, or a counter reset, or
so. You can file an enhancement request at
https://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome.
For now, you need to keep track of the differences manually by checking
once before and after your work is "done"....
