By the way, you keep talking about the VimOutliner, may I ask if you
tried the new outline feature of 1.5? (Part of it is also in 1.4.4).
No. I'm still on 1.4.2. I usually upgrade my LyX when I upgrade Mandriva
versions. In the 5 years I've used LyX, the only added feature so wonderful
that it compelled me to go through the pain compiling a new LyX was character
styles (and thanks for that!).
Where can I learn more about LyX's new outline feature? If it's anything like
MS Word's outline mode, it will be a SPECTACULAR addition to already great
software.
See the screenshot that show the outline feature at

(Unusually small LyX window in order to get a smaller image file)
Outliner subwindow, from top to bottom:
Pulldown box set to show the TOC (other options
are lists of figures or tables).
The outline itself, showing all the headings in my test document.
"1.1.1 subsection" is selected.
A slider that lets you set the detail level.
Example: If you don't care about seeing
subsections (and lower) in a large document, then you use this slider.
Five buttons:
* refresh - unnecessary if the outline is updated automatically.
Otherwise it will update the outline view.
* decrease depth - will turn the selected subsection into a section
* increase depth - the subsection will become a subsubsection
* Move down - subsection (with contents) moves below "other section"
* Move up - sebsection (with contents) will move above
"1.1 section"
