Hi,
I'm looking for a way to insert (pre-formatted) text into a LyX
document using a keyboard shortcut.
For example, I'd like to insert "i.e." when pressing a certain key
combination. I tried to use the LyX function "self-insert" with the
argument "i.e.", but with LyX 1.6 I only got the error message: "Can
not insert shortcut to the list".
That's a bug. I'm getting that message pretty much no matter what I
try to do.
OK, the problem is that self-insert cannot be added to the list as a
function. There's a reason for this, namely, that you don't really want
to see the bindings for normal keys in that list, e.g.:
\bind "2" "self-insert"
The solution is to use this instead:
command-sequence self-insert i.e.
for the simple case.
