That's what I was afraid of. :-(  I looked through all the documentation and 
didn't find anything as versatile as a plugin.

The modules, from what I saw, only perform simple tasks, (add a box, modify 
some element, etc). Nothing oriented to help the writer in the writing 
process. It doesn't allow much interaction. 

For example, something that occurs to me now, is a search of all documents 
that shows the context of the word found in a list of matches and, obviously, 
jump to the match found. That would require a modification in the interface to 
show the results. When I search for something, it is a bit annoying to compare 
different segments by jumping between documents.

Thanks.
I love LyX and want to expand it!

Not a developer, but I think the closes LyX has in terms of plugins is
the module system, which allow for some degree of expanding
functionality. I don't know if what you want can be implemented through
that, wishing you luck in any case.

I think there was a talk about plugins some years ago in the list.

All the best

What I want is to interact with the text directly in Lyx. That is, I want it 
to be a kind of tool, which allows to modify a text in a complex way, like 
adding text templates with modifiable fields or modifying patterns in the 
text. I also want to see if I can add a contextual submenu without having to 
go around modifying files or using templates. Another idea that I find 
interesting is to have the most common synonyms of a word appear with a 
keyboard shortcut.

My idea is to generate some tools to modify the text more closely than 
processing the file separately from Lyx, i.e. processing it outside with some 
script. I want something more focused on the editing process rather than on 
the text smoothing. So, my idea is to have a small interface inside LyX. I 
don't want it to be two applications at the same time.  I'm looking for 
something dynamic that reacts to changes in text processing.

For the moment, I just want to see if I can make some simple code for some 
simple plug-in to get the rust off from not programming for a while :-D and 
figure out what capabilities I would have to do something. Besides, since it 
uses Qt I don't have much problem to understand a code or to program.

There is always LyXpipe

What is the actual task that you want to do?

I have done a bit of templating and (been shown how to do) simple LUA
scripting such as calculating the nearest Friday of exactly 24 weeks
after a date.

So depending on what you do, it could already be possible with "on-board
resources".

Hi.

I want to develop something like a plug-in to perform a complex task
when editing the document.  However, I can't find a way to do that.  I
can't find that LyX has a functionality like that, if not through
external scripts or through the server-client model.  I appreciate any
ideas or guidance you can give me.

Plug-in in Lyx?

2023-05-22 Thread Claudio J. Chiabai
Hi.

Is there any way to make an internal plug-in for LyX? 

I want to develop something like a plug-in to perform a complex task when 
editing the document. However, I can't find a way to do that. I can't find 
that LyX has a functionality like that, if not through external scripts or 
through the server-client model. I appreciate any ideas or guidance you can 
give me.
