It is not very obvious, but the effect of (almost) every keypress can be achieved by "lyx functions" (lfuns). This can be tested from the "minibuffer" accessible with ESC-x. A script can send lfuns to lyx via the lyxpipe. (For Python scripts, there is a package to access the lyxpipe in the lyx wiki.) Hope this helps a bit. Günter ____ Thanks. I was not aware of ESC-x. I will try that. /J.
