IMO the name should be coded in the layout file. Here is how it could work: 1/ when using getStatus(), the lfun validator uses FuncStatus::message to set a special string that could be - the name of the optional argument for the current layout - the name of the current inset - anything else that could be useful 2/ when the menu item string contains %s, the menu code replaces this %s with the message returned by above. With this, we have a way to have menu entry names that depend on context. Would that make sense? JMarc
