Ok, maybe I'm way off base here but why not take a different tact. Why
not come up with a text based shorthand you can use (kinda like Wiki-style),
throw something together in Python/Perl/Ruby to parse it out and reformat for
later importation into OOo? That way you can skip the GUI completely and also
don't need to remember keystrokes, only your formatting shorthand.
Of course, this is just really a pared down idea of what $EDITOR + LaTeX
would offer but it is what I would do as I do prefer text editing of all types
in vim, know Python/Perl and don't know LaTeX. :)
