Hello:

I have two questions related to how citations are shown in lyx document (not in 
the final output pdf).

1. When I insert 3 or more citations in the document, the list is abbreviated, 
only the first two keys are shown completely and the end of the list is cut. Is 
it possible to set lyx to show the complete list independently the number of 
inserted citations, even by hacking some layout files?

No, this is set in the source. Having no limit at all would cause massive problems with line breaking. Note that if you put your mouse over the inset, then you will see the complete citation as a tooltip.

2. If the citation/bibliography style is set to author-year in document settings, the inserted 
citations are not shown as the original bib file keys; they look similar to the final result. Is it 
possible to set lyx to show the original key independently from the citation style? (For example I 
would prefer to see "Johnson2005" (the bib file key) instead of "(Johnson et al., 
2005)" in the lyx document.

No, this is not possible, either, but it's a reasonable request. Feel free to file an enhancement on trac, and we can try to get to it for 2.1. (Too late for 2.0.)
