    The Alt+A 1, etc. shortcuts  for custom inset arguments are a real
    boon. However, I note that a 'post' argument, following the main
    argument, doesn't get a shortcut, which is a pity. Is this
    oversight or are there technical reasons preventing the extension
    of shortcuts to 'post' arguments?


It's just not implemented. You can create shortcuts via bindings to "argument-insert post:1" etc. similar to the normal argument bindings in menus.inc. Same for the 'item' argument.

Very belatedly, thank you. Of course you meant menus.bind (in the bind folder in the LyX Resources folder). I have a custom inset with two post arguments and have altered menus.bind by commenting out the first line and adding the other two, then saving the changed file in my personal LyX bind folder:

#\bind "M-a 9"            "argument-insert 9"

\bind "M-a 0"            "argument-insert post:1"
\bind "M-a 9"            "argument-insert post:2"

The shortcuts are considerably more convenient than the mouse work previously required.
