These are commands that are used to make LyX perform specific actions. LyX itself uses these functions internally, and every internal action is bound to an LFUN. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard LFUNs are also used in the files that define keyboard shortcuts, menu or toolbar items. So if you want to change\SpecialChar \slash{} customize the user interface, you need to deal with LFUNs. Furthermore, external programs can use LFUNs to communicate with and \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset remote-control \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset LyX. Finally, you can also issue LFUNs directly via the so called mini-buffer which can be opened via \begin_inset Info type "shortcuts" arg "command-execute" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout
