/* InsetInfo displays shortcuts, lyxrc, package and textclass
availability and menu information in a non-editable boxed InsetText.

Output of such an inset may vary from system to system, depending
on LyX and LaTeX configurations. Two LyX help files, LaTeXConfig.lyx
and Shortcuts.lyx make heavy use of this inset. The former uses it
to display the availability of packages and textclasses, the latter
uses it to display currently used shortcuts.

This inset has two arguments: the type and argument of the information. The
screen and latex output is the content of the information. An InsetInfo can
have type "shortcuts", "shortcut", "lyxrc", "package", "textclass", "menu",
or "buffer". Arguments and outputs vary by type.

shortcuts: argument of this type of InsetInfo is the name of the LFUN such as
    "math-insert \alpha". The syntax is the same as what is used in the bind
    and ui files. The output of this inset is all shortcuts for this LFUN
    separated by comma.

shortcut: the same as shortcuts, but only output the last shortcut.

lyxrc: argument is the name of the rc entry such as "bind_file". Look in
    src/LyXRC.h for available entries. The output is the content of this RC
    entry.

package: argument is the name of a latex package such as "listings". The
    output is "yes" or "no", indicating the availability of this package.

textclass: argument is the name a textclass such as "article". The output is
    "yes" or "no", indicating the availability of this textclass.

menu: argument is the name of the LFUN such as "paste". The syntax is the same
    as what is used in the bind and ui files. The output is the menu item that
    triggers this LFUN. For example, "File > Paste", where '>' is actually
    \lyxarrow (an InsetSpecialChar).

icon: argument is the name of the LFUN such as "paste". The syntax is the same
    as what is used in the bind and ui files. The output is the icon use in
    the toolbar for this LFUN.

buffer: argument can be one of "name", "path", "class". This inset output the
    filename, path, and textclass of this buffer.

There is currently no GUI, no menu entry for this inset. A user can define a
shortcut for "info-insert" (e.g. C-S-I), and

1. input the type and argument of this inset, e.g. "menu paste", in
   the work area.
2. select the text and run "info-insert" (e.g. press C-S-I).

An alternative method is to enter command "info-insert type arg" in
the command buffer (view->Toolbar->Command Buffer).
