We already have line-begin, self-insert and char-delete-forward 
LFUNs. If someone were to add a "for-each-selected-line" LFUN (with a 
shorter name) that would take a command or command-sequence as its

The approach I use is to write a separate, external, preamble.tex file that
I then put alongside the .lyx file and in LyX's premable I issue
"\input{preamble.tex}".  Then, I can (un)comment the contained behavior in
one line.  Naturally, one can use multiple preamble files to segregate
behaviors.  Using this approach also allows multiple documents to share a
common preamble.  Further, by symbolically linking the .tex file, an update
in one instance updates behaviors globally.

Is this a problem for importing .tex or do you mean just if you
insert
double braces in LyX, they are converted to single braces?

I ran into this problem some years ago. Guillaume pointed out that this 
is ticket #9348 ("Curly brackets are removed on opening when they should 
not").

Toggle comments in Lyx->LaTeX Preamble

[Daniel Gómez Martínez]

Hello everyone,

I have large sections of customized TeX code in the LaTeX preamble of some
LyX templates I've created over time. I would like to know if there's a way
to quickly toggle between commented and uncommented line for a given
selection of lines (say, with a keyboard shortcut), and in case there's not
a quick way to do this, I would like to ask the developers if they can
include this feature in Settings->Document->LaTeX Preamble and in the TeX
code environment (the one you have with Ctrl+L), it would also be great if
a message of how to do so (toggle comment lines keyboard shortcut) could be
included in the Settings->Document->LaTeX Preamble sub-window.

I'm sure I've read somewhere that LyX tries to the highest extent to be so
complete that users don't usually have to put TeX or Preamble code lines,
but as we users have some really customized and variable needs, I think
this would be a good feature to have in order to be more productive: we
could then toggle between the customization lines of our templates and
documents for different reasons, be them debugging or changes in document
appearance.

Best regards,

Re: older lyx file (around 2009) gives error in lyx2.3.0beta1

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

That works well and is quite cool.

But it only works for one file and I could not figure out how how to do
this with

-batch --execute

which would evenually work well as something like

find ~/ -name '*lyx' -exec {} lyx -batch --execute ...  {} \;

on Mac and Linux.

And of course something like this

perl -i.withcurly -0pe 's/\\begin_inset Separator
latexpar\n\\end_inset\n//smi' file.lyx

will convert file.lyx leaving the original in file.lyx.withcurly (for
furture removal) and once one is satisfied one can even do something
like

find ~/ -name '*lyx' -exec perl -i -0pe 's/\\begin_inset Separator
latexpar\n\\end_inset\n//smi' {} \;

which leaves no trace :-)-O
