The LFUN_... are the values of enum kb_action (see commandtags.h).
The value LFUN_WORDFINDBACKWARD is attached (in LyXAction.C) to the lyx function
'word-find-backward' (You can do "M-x word-find-forward Hello" in
LyX).
I wrote that function, and am not familiar with LyX's code : so I
wrote down my doubts as comments; any resemblance with other pieces of
code in LyX is not coincidence.
I wrote that function because I didn't want to have to click in the
search window. By binding it to C-s, one can repeat the last search,
in emacs fashion.
However, I got used to clicking (although it's slower), and don't
use that function much. I proposed, to make a patch that removes
"word-find-forward" and "word-find-backward" from LyX.
Cheers,
Etienne
