Since there has been some discussion of incorporation of Python into LyX, let
me say that I think this is something like what I wanted when I posted that
strange request some time ago (I don't remember how I put it: I think I talked
about having the ability to integrate other applications' guis into the LyX
gui). Since that last post, I realized that what I wanted was "plugins". For
intance, since then I've thought of writing little dialogues to control
frequently used packages, which have lots of little options I might want to
change from time to time. A prime example is jurabib, which has too many
options for me to remember them. I just plain slows me down to have to pull up
the documentation and sort through all the little options to find the one's I
need.
So I guess this is in one sense a 'second' to the discussion of Python, along
with a reminder of and clarification of my original post.
In addition, I have a few other thoughts to offer. I don't know how
customizable menus are in LyX-- I haven't had the time to look into the docs.
However, I think it would be quite a nice feature to have one of those little
menus to pop up with a click in the application window. That is one thing I
-do- like about the behemoth WYSIWYG applications, which I otherwise despise.
This menu should be *fully* customizable (as should everything in LyX)
And with that, may I add my voice to that of others who, over the years, have
made known their appreciation for all the hard work and thought that has gone
into making LyX the fabulous application it is.
