I SHOULD know this, because it came up in the (distant) past, but
either I forgot, or Lyx has changed-- probably a little of both.
I wanted to cut a frame from a lyx/beamer presentation and put it
in
another place in the presentation. Control-X, and Control-V failed. So
I tried to insert a new frame, but that came without an end-of-frame,
I like LyX as much as the next guy --- I'm selling about 9 books
authored in LyX. But when it comes to putting together a slide
presentation with Beamer, I think LyX adds more complexity than it
removes. When I use Beamer at all, I just edit the LaTeX in an editor.
Doing that would be the kiss of death writing a book, but Beamer/LaTeX
uses only a small subset of LaTeX.

Steve-- I TOTALLY agree with you about the Lyx/Beamer combo being a
killjoy experience. To make matters worse, I use this combination only
rarely, and in between, pandemics, Former-Presidents and other plagues
brush away what I knew about using it, so the experience is usually like
a root-canal: painful, frustrating and disappointing. It is harder to
use than the much maligned Impress of the even-more-maligned
LibreOffice, but of course the output, if I ever get to that stage, is
MUCH better looking. Whether that improved look is worth the pain
depends on your pain threshold ;-)

Hi,
It's always great to get feedback on LyX.
Something that I thought while using beamer with LyX was that it seems
that it would be easier if Frames would not "hang together". I mean:
right now, if you press enter at the end or beginning of a frame, you
get a new line that is extending the same frame. Wouldn't it be easier
if you get a new frame this way and instead would just nest stuff in
order to get it onto a specific frame? So, no need for separators
either. There may be issues with this suggestion that I have not thought
careful enough about but on the face of it, it seems like a good idea to
me and to solve the issues you mentioned. What do you think?
Best,
Daniel
