Hi Jim, Do you think something like the insert table icon would work well for matrices? If you haven't tried it yet, click on the "Insert table" icon in the top toolbar. If matrices worked in this way, would you consider that better or worse than how MathType does it?
Can you open an enhancement request on trac for this? http://www.lyx.org/trac Also on the trac ticket can you post a screenshot of what MathType does? I'm wondering what the user interface is like.
