Plug-in in Lyx?

[Claudio J. Chiabai]

What I want is to interact with the text directly in Lyx. That is, I want it 
to be a kind of tool, which allows to modify a text in a complex way, like 
adding text templates with modifiable fields or modifying patterns in the 
text. I also want to see if I can add a contextual submenu without having to 
go around modifying files or using templates. Another idea that I find 
interesting is to have the most common synonyms of a word appear with a 
keyboard shortcut.

My idea is to generate some tools to modify the text more closely than 
processing the file separately from Lyx, i.e. processing it outside with some 
script. I want something more focused on the editing process rather than on 
the text smoothing. So, my idea is to have a small interface inside LyX. I 
don't want it to be two applications at the same time.  I'm looking for 
something dynamic that reacts to changes in text processing.

For the moment, I just want to see if I can make some simple code for some 
simple plug-in to get the rust off from not programming for a while :-D and 
figure out what capabilities I would have to do something. Besides, since it 
uses Qt I don't have much problem to understand a code or to program.
