I have to do something slightly different namely

I'd rather do:

* Enter "command-alternatives in-ipa ; ipa-insert" (without the
quotes) to Function
* Move the Cursor to the shortcut Area (the grey field)
* Perform the actual keyboard shortcut (e.g., Alt+I)
* Apply and Save
The bind file is shown as cua in which there is no binding for
ipa-insert. (Someone please tell me if I'm wrong)
Right.
so after I click on Modify I have to select New and then enter the
binding. So I enter C-x i and ipa-insert and it does indeed
"stick" in the sense I described before.
Ctrl-X is not a good idea. This is the default binding for "cut" (and
Alt-X ist the default binding for the minibuffer).
I can close LyX and restart it and look at cua.bind and it's still
there. (I do that in Emacs in case you're wondering. The path on
my machine is Program Files (x86) > LyX 2.2 > Resources > bind >
cua.bind.)
However cua.bind cannot possibly be the default bind file because
if I am in LyX and type C-x it says "command disabled" so I can't
even do "cut". I think I can figure out how to load the cua
bindings but my concern is that it will reset some of the default
bindings. I also use LyX for math and logic and I don't want to
lose those shortcuts.
The user-defined shortcuts are not saved in cua.bind, but in
user.bind, which is in your personal LyX directory, in the bind subfolder.
You can even directly copy the following to this file (and restart LyX):
\bind "M-I" "command-alternatives in-ipa ; ipa-insert"

Hi Jurgen
I don't seem to have a personal bind subfolder or a personal LyX
directory either. (I used Search in the Start Menu and looked in the
obvious places using Emacs.) Do I need to create it myself and copy
cua.bind to it and make the alterations you suggest?
