Package: lyx Version: 1.6.0-1 Severity: normal
It used to be in older versions of LyX you could use SHIFT+arrows to select in math mode. I find this feature crucial, as it allows me to do algebraic manipulation in LyX far faster than I could write it out by hand, eliminating my paper dependence. The new version looks snazzy and has a bunch of cool new features, but I have pinned the old one because this is simply a deal killer for me. Having to reach all the way over to the mouse is irritating. I cannot LyX notes in realtime anymore. Guess this is why you don't apt-get upgrade during lecture:-) If I'm the only person like this I can just never upgrade, old LyX wasn't lacking anything I needed and didn't crash too often; but I'd like the new stuff *drools over tab completion in math mode* Thanks again for all the free software, etc etc. Debian saves me money AND time.
