Hi all, I'm new to texmacs but with a good background as a lyx user.

Here's my feedback as a new texmacs user (before I forget).

Running SVN head:
I find that the shell session hangs and I have to keep killing it. 1.0.7.3 works fine.
The QT menus are welcome, but no accellerator keys! (but I'm sure you know that).

With 1.0.7.3
I can't find out how to change the font size per-document for the code environment - this was easy to do with lyx
Within a tree node (outlined box) at the left most position, "backspace" does nothing. In Lyx it would delete the container node but keep the text, or in other words, it removes the style - it was very useful.

If I insert a footnote in a citation, the footnote is italic - I guess that is wrong.

If I paste text into a code environment, the text lines gets mangled onto one lone line

I really like the shell sessions (and so on).

Why does it run "locate" every time I start texmacs - it makes it take ages to start, and no good for makefiles: texmacs -c in.tm out.tmml -q

When I open a tmml file and save it and try to quit, texmacs thinks I havent saved it (although it is saved).

I really miss latex's lstlistings. I wrote a literate programming addon for Lyx (http://www.nongnu.org/newfangle/index.shtml). The weave side was done entirely in latex macros and based on lstlistings, and the tangle side was done with a single awk script. I see that texmacs replaces tex mostly (fair enough, the difficulties in parsing tex drove me to texmacs). I intend to port the literate programming to texmacs and implement as xslt and guile.  I guess I'll have a lot to do to get lstlistings ported. Mainly it had syntax highlighting and line counting, but it had some freaky tricks to approximate per-word grids for fake mono-spacing with variable fonts. (I know about lp4texmacs).

Anyway, thanks muchly for tecmacs.

Sam
