Hello, As far as I see developers here don't like double click for some reasons :). How about putting a "Math Panel" item in the hypothetical context menu which is brought up by right click instead of the math panel? Then you can configure the double click for whatever you want or just leave it alone if you really think it's a miserable thing.
I agree there is no one size fits all and congigurability is a desirable asset here. In fact, it's the high (but not perfect IMHO: I would prefer possibility of mode- or context-sensitive key bindings) configurability of Keyboard shortcuts that made Lyx so convenient to use in my case. And, by none of what I say I intend to criticize anybody or any platform or anything in LyX, these are just my personal preferences. And, I 'm glad you port the UI to QT 4.1! This sounds great and I can't wait to see the source code! (I've played with QT4 a little, I liked it and their new approach to their library) Regards, Nusret --- Abdelrazak Younes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello Nusret, > If we you are willing to help with the development > of LyX, there are > plenty to do.
