Thanks for the example. How did you insert the optional args that show

Thanks. This makes me wonder what else I'm missing? I've used lyx for a
while now, and didn't know about this feature.
How does one discover these things?
If this was emacs, M-x would have tab completions, apropos, etc that would
help me discover these features.
Most of it is covered in the documentation. There's no equivalent to
apropos, but you can open the help docs and do a full text search, which
is essentially equivalent to apropos (if not quite as tidy). I always
start by searching Help -> Table of Contents.
Then there is the wiki, which has a useful search function. Speaking of
functions, you might want to find the list of LFUNs on the wiki and just
scroll through it. This will give you an idea of what LyX knows how to
do on command, where "on command" could mean a menu option or a command
buffer entry. You can bind LFUNs (or sequences of LFUNs -- begin with
command-sequence) to key combinations in your .bind file of choice.
And, of course, there's this group, where the sneakier stuff eventually
gets revealed. I first heard about Insert -> Short Title here. I'm
sure it's been on the menu for a while, but I never noticed it until
someone on the list pointed it out. (I'm a professor. Being oblivious
is a job requirement.)
