Hi Stefano, thanks for the hint with the mini-buffer. I'm working on a PC and couldn't find any access to the mini-buffer.

I have browsed all the documentation but didn't find any clue. Several times a list of all LyX-functions is mentioned to be found in the reference manual, but this seems not exist any longer. $ cd /usr/share/lyx/doc $ grep mini-buffer * does not give any result ,-( Do you have any hint for me?
