LyxBindings

Script for listing current keyboard shortcuts (bindings) from .bind-files

Goal

Produce a list of keyboard bindings (shortcuts) based on the .bind-files.

Solution

The script parses the .bind-files and prints out the keyboard bindings. If there is an 'include'-statement, the included file is also parsed.

Files

• uploads:/Tools/lyxBindings/lyx-bindings.sh (it's actually a tcsh-script)
• uploads:/Tools/lyxBindings/lyx-bindings.lyx (template file for outputting the list in various formats)

Installation

Download uploads:/Tools/lyxBindings/lyx-bindings.sh and uploads:/Tools/lyxBindings/lyx-bindings.lyx. Make sure lyx-bindings.sh is executable, and that the first line in the script points to where your copy of 'tcsh' is located. Rename the lyx-bindings.lyx to bindings.lyx.

Configuration

You can change the default location of where they .bind-files are supposed to be found by modifying the script.

Usage

For a description of the usage do:

lyx-bindings.sh --help

Example

This example creates a .dvi-file with key bindings for each .bind-file.

./lyx-bindings.sh -e dvi /usr/local/share/lyx/bind/*.bind 

Some of the resulting files are listed below:

• cua.dvi
• emacs.dvi
• greekkeys.dvi
• math.dvi
• menus.dvi

Other results of this script can be found through the page LyX.keyboard shortcuts.
