Automatic inline completion in Math mode

Post by xBagh »

Hello here,

I was wondering if the following feature exists in LyX.

When you are in math mode and you begin to write i.e. a symbol using \, LyX propose an auto-completion (e.g. begin with \a will lead to the proposition \acute that you can validate pressing the tab key). This is very useful, especially with the fact that it propose the last symbol you entered, leading to a quicker writing.

But it would be wonderful if LyX can remember the symbols you use often ! For instance when I type \var it proposes \varDelta that I never use, in place of \varphi that I heavily use. It would be great that when I begin to type down \va..., the most used symbol pop up first.

Do anyone know if such a feature exists ? Thanks !
