I have two questions concerning keyboard macros / commands:
1) I'd like to bind a shortkey to the following command sequence:
command-sequence buffer-write; master-buffer-update;
i.e. save the current document, then update the preview of the master
document. In principle, this works. However, if the document is already
saved, the "buffer-write" command is disabled and consequently the
second command is not executed, neither. Is it possible to enforce
execution of the second command?
Thanks a lot.

A hackish way is to insert and then delete a space character, to 'dirty'
the document, which should enable the buffer-write:
command-sequence space-insert normal; char-delete-backward; buffer-write;
master-buffer-update;
but I suspect "buffer-write; master-buffer-update" is incompatible with
"command-sequence" as it presently exists. As I understand it, the
buffer-write operation is a threaded process and so the
master-buffer-update command will be started generally before the
buffer-write is complete so that the overall effect won't be what you
want. (I'm ignorant of LyX internals but I've tried command sequences
involving saving/exporting operations before and this is what happens.
See bug #8346.)
