<p class="noindent">There is a strong relationship between GPS actions, as defined in the
customization files (see <a href="Defining-Actions.html#Defining-Actions">Defining Actions</a>), and scripting languages
<p>Actions can be bound to menus and keys through the customization files or
the <code>Edit->Key shortcuts</code> dialog.
<p>These actions can execute any script command, See <a href="Defining-Actions.html#Defining-Actions">Defining Actions</a>. This is
done through the <code><shell></code> XML tag.
<p>But the opposite is also true. From a script, you can execute any action
registered in GPS. This can for instance be used to split windows, highlight
lines in the editor, <small class="dots">...</small> when no equivalent shell function exists. This can
also be used to execute external commands, if the scripting language doesn't
support this in an easy manner.
<p>Such calls are made through a call to <code>execute_action</code>, as in the
following example:
<pre class="smallexample"> execute_action "Split horizontally"
</pre>
<pre class="smallexample"> GPS.execute_action (action="Split horizontally")
</pre>
<p>The list of actions known to GPS can be found through the
<code>Edit->Key shortcuts</code> dialog. Action names are case sensitive.
<p>Some of the shell commands take subprograms as parameters. If you are using
the GPS shell, this means you have to pass the name of a GPS action. If
you are using Python, this means that you pass a subprogram,
See <a href="Subprogram-parameters.html#Subprogram-parameters">Subprogram parameters</a>.
