In older versions of LyX, you could insert \bind commands directly into
lyxrc. Now, with the GUI-configuration, .lyx/lyxrc is discarded and the
preferences set with Edit>Preferences are saved to .lyx/preferences.
As \bind commands in the .lyx/preferences file might be overwritten with
the next save from Edit>Preferences, I recommend creating a custom *.bind
file and call it via Edit>Preferences. The \bind_file command is used to
call the standard bind files from there.

Example: I have a file ~/.lyx/bind/gm.bind
###########################################################
#
# gm.bind private keybindings file
#
###########################################################
# Since LyX 1.1.6 the keybinding file is set in a GUI dialog. Where in
# previous versions it was possible to load several bind-files and to
# define additional bindings in the .lyxrc resource file, now only one
# bind-file is loaded from LyX. However, it is still possible to load a
# keybinding file from another bind-file.
# Thus, to customize the bindings, you can write your own bind-file (or use
# this template) and load the default bindings from here.
# In the GUI, set the bindings to your privat bind-file. LyX will search for
# private keybinding files in ~/.lyx/bind/ .
#
# Before defining your own bindings, select one of the available default
# binding sets. These are resource files (like this one) that define a
# large set of (keyboard) bindings. These files live in the /bind directory of
# the LyX system directory and have the .bind suffix.
#
# Currently, you can choose from the following flavors:
#
# cua.bind for Windows-, Mac- and Motif-like bindings
# emacs.bind for Emacs-like bindings.
#
# The \bind_file command looks in the LyX bind directory for a file
# of the given name, so a full path should not be given.
\bind_file cua.bind
#\bind_file emacs.bind
# we also would like to incorporate some additional menu shortcuts
\bind_file de_menus.bind
# Based on the default, you can now change part or all of it with the
# \bind command.
# unfortunately, some bindings are broken in de_menus.bind
# Veraltete Tastenbelegung; für rückwärtige Kompatibilität beibehalten
\bind "M-a S-quotedbl" "layout Section*" # M-a S-2
\bind "M-a S-section" "layout Subsection*" # M-a S-3
\bind "M-a S-dollar" "layout Subsubsection*" # M-a S-4
# missing in de_menus.bind
\bind "M-a S-equal" "layout Part*"
\bind "M-a S-exclam" "layout Chapter*"
\bind "M-a S-percent" "layout Paragraph*"
\bind "M-a S-ampersand" "layout Subparagraph*"
