Thanks, looks good.

It's a bit hard for me to test (in my day-to-day workflow) because the
insets are no longer labelled. For example, I am used to being able to
press "ctrl + i" and it gives the label of the inset. I use a lot of
custom insets, and it's hard for me to distinguish which each is without
seeing the label. I can click and then see the name of the inset in the
status bar, but that's not ideal. I think this might be part of the
"very basic decoration" under "What sort of works", so I understand I
just need to be patient :)

One other thing I noticed, which may be already known (maybe as part of
"visual cursor navigation at row end") is when I try to click in-between
the last letter inside an inset and the end of the inset. In this case,
the cursor is placed outside and before the inset, where I expect it to
be placed inside and at the end of the inset. For example, in Beamer
example manual, if I click after "class" in the first frame title inset,
it places the cursor to before the inset.

Thanks for your continued work on this! It is quite an exciting feature
in my opinion.
