It has been sitting on my todo... But I'll add it as an easy hack...

In the long run I'm hoping that will be possible...
(but it's still only on my wish-list, fixing current bugs with the
visual editor is my main priority).

A WYSIWYG solution, similar to MathType, MathCad, LyX, kFormula,
etc... i.e. something most people can use without training...

With regards to all the other wishes... then there sure is a lot of
things that could be improved in starmath... I'm just working on what
I think will attract more users... And I'm sure that it can be done
without alienating the current user base :)
