You can type your formula as text, mark it and convert to math with e.g. Ctrl-m. For editing an existing formula, you might have success with copy and paste (with the mouse) to re-convert to TeX code as text and then again to math with Ctrl-m. This works also with copy from the source-view. > I find the 2d math mode slightly annoying, especially when writing > fractions and exponents since one has to use the arrow keys rather > often. The spacebar helps to get out of the exponent, indices and the denominator. What I find really annoying is that I cannot change the type of fraction (nicefrac, frac, simple /, ...) but have to copy the content to a new fraction. > I *could* use ERT, but I like the preview mechanism for > formulas in LyX, and I don't have that for ERT.
