I have a couple of questions about customizing the toolbar: 1) Is there a lyx function that applies layouts (environments) to a selection or to the current paragraph, which can be used by a (custom) toolbar button? (I didn't find any)
2) Are there keyboard shortcuts for layouts (environments)? Where would I find those? 3) Is there a way to add a second toolbar? The website mentions that the Qt front-end can handle multiple toolbars, but I find no documentation on how to do so. Adding another "Toolbar" section in default.ui just makes lyx crash. I hope these things are possible; having to open the layout combobox and scroll down until you find the environment you are looking for is a serious disadvantage of the LyX user interface, since choosing an environment is one of the most common editing activities. I wish the upcomming 1.4 release would provide a more user-friendly approach to selecting environments (hint: context-sensitive, right-click menus,) or at least, a way to customize the toolbars to do so.
