no, I mean that as you type in the search box things that match get immediately active. No need to press enter, it works together with 'search highlight occurences'. the best way to experience this is to open vim, press / and start typing your search term.

Let me try to motivate this feature. 1- It's trivial to implement it, and then make it optional. 2- The only way to check whether you have missed a capital is by loading all your lyx files on a text editor that supports regex and painfully check results of \.\s+[a-z] one by one. Not efficient. 3- I hate to do keyboard combos. they are bad for rsi and slower overall. Autocapitalization would save thousands of those a month. > > > 4. search highlight occurences >> >> >> > You could file an enhancement request for this. > > done: http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/6598 > > 5. bold, color background on outline.
