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.

Best,

Scott
