I assigned command-sequence buffer-write; buffer-export pdflatex; buffer-export pdf2 to a key (control-command-S), and it works as intended. I'm using a mac.

If the first command, buffer-write, fails because there are no changes, the rest does not run either. But in this case that is clearly desirable.

I'm interested to know whether this really does work. In the past when I've tried to use command-sequence with export or save operations it has run into problems with threaded code -- an export or save is not completed before the next command in the sequence is initiated.

Re: Automatic save of LaTeX
Thanks, that works. I see I can use the command-sequence to combine the commands. So, now it works.

That is, how do I write a macro? I only see something about math macros.

I can edit the latex, and then copy the changes back to LyX. But that does require I have access to the latex version. It often happens I have my iPad with me, I unexpectedly get some extra time and would like to do some work -- but then I don't have the latex version of the document I'm working on.
