tgif has hotkeys for LaTeX macros? Kinda interesting.

I know it's late in your development cycle, so disrupting workflow is
out of the question, but I'd highly recommend auctex-mode and
x-symbol-mode in xemacs over using LyX. Especially x-symbol-mode. It
will take things like \alpha and collapse it into a visual font
automagickally. But, it has shortcut keys as above, and you can find
out what they are by typing in the LaTeX code and then just sitting
the point right next to it and it will show you the key binding in the
minibuffer. So, e.g. \alpha is C-= a #. On top of auctex's otherwise
very helpful LaTeX support. :-)

Thank you for sharing some insight into your workflow!
