About this manual
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This manual documents the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
LyX Functions
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
(abbreviated LFUNs).
These are commands that are used to make \SpecialChar LyX
perform specific actions.
\SpecialChar 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 breakableslash
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
\SpecialChar 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
.

Usually,
when multiple optional arguments are shown,
the earlier arguments must be given if later ones are to be given.
So,
for example,
in quote-insert,
<LEVEL> can be given alone,
without <SIDE> and <STYLE>,
but it must be given if <SIDE> is given,
and all three must be given if <STYLE> is to be given.

Notion WARNING:
use at your own risks;
this function gives you too many ways of shooting yourself in the foot.
A typical example is inset-forall Note note-insert which starts an infinite loop.
This is mitigated by the fact that the number of actions is arbitrarily limited to 100000.
Note also that inset-forall does not update metrics between iterations,
which can lead to bugs.
This has to be eventually fixed.
