All applications (Libre Writer, Pages, Visual Studio Code, TextEdit,

Save from the menu. This can be seen, for example, from the modified

The only exception are MS office (which does not save and not gray out
the Save menu) and LyX (which does not save but does at least gray out
the Save menu). Is there a particular reason LyX behaves in this way?
Is there a way, I can change this behavior and force a save?

You mean if the document is not dirty? Hit "s", backspace, then save.
I.e, make it dirty.

I find it hard to remember doing this. So, I would like to change LyX's
Save command to a forced saving.

Maybe there is a nice command sequence that renders the document dirty,
maybe via some change; undoes the change, if there was one made; saves?

Yes, you could assign something like "command-sequence self-insert s;
char-delete-backward; buffer-write" to Ctrl-S. Undo won't work, because
then the document isn't dirty again.

Unfortunately, when the settings dialog is closed and re-opened
everything that comes after the first semi-colon is chopped off. Is that
a bug?
