I've been mulling about this for a while, mixing thoughts on scripting,
what I did before for mail-merge, and the multi-command work someone
did a few months ago.
Essentially, there would be some kind of meta-command, which rather
than issuing commands for immediate execution, instead pushes them
onto a stack. This wouldn't require full recursion in all commands. Or
perhaps the current dispatch method could simply load the stack,
typically with one command.
At that point, something like Garst & I are pleading for would be
implemented with a bind to either an internal lyx command which (in
this case) does
math mode
set greek
wait for a character
enter character
leave the inset
Aside from the "wait for character", I'm don't think anything here goes
beyond the multi-command sequence that existed before (is it still in
the code?)
It's been a few years, but I did a bunch of macro scripting for word on
the mac sometime back. It also lets you do nifty things like go up to
the prior line of math, copy, and paste here from a single command. Or
insert a 3x3 array (or wait for size) inside of brackets.
