Description

Hi,
this is a forward from the Debian BTS
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=251840

Original report:
"""

  • Macro Support

This should be similar in many respects to vim's macros, whereby you can
capture keystrokes and mouse events and create a macro out of it which
you can then apply to a document.
This should also have the functionality to save, edit and delete
macros as desired.

Resolution: wontfix
Status: newclosed

LyX 1.6.0 provides a completely rewritten support for math macros.
Support for general macros is not possible as there are endless LaTeX-packages
providing commands the user might want to use.
I don't know why macros where you define mouse action etc. should be useful. LyX
is not a text editor like Vim where this might make sense. I had a look and
neither Abiword, KOffice, OpenOffice, nor Word provides such a functionality.
