RH - Thank you for taking time. I see I misspelled mac as max---sorry.
For \label{E} I used the Shortcuts window, found label-insert, and assigned keystrokes. But I could not find or guess something like ref-insert, only href-insert which is different---right? For accents, your answer led me to the Shortcuts window under "Cursor, Mouse and Editing functions. This solved my problem very nicely for \H{o} since "accent-hungarian-umlaut" produces the latex code \H{}. But then I was surprised to see that "accent-acute" did not produce the latex code \'{}, although character in both LyX and LaTex source was accented. I had the same problem with accent-umlaut. Is it possible to change this by using a different LyX function? But now I have a new question. What is the mini-buffer? How do I find out about it? I searched the User's guide, but found nothing.
