I did so (perhaps more rashly than bravely). Upgrade was smooth. Absolutely no

We have not heard of anyone who has tried it. There were many problems
in LyX when Capitan made its debut, but hopefully that is not the common
upgrade experience.

If you do bravely try it out, please let us know.

BIBINPUTS is an environment variable and can be set this way
http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm
I assume. I am not on Windows so cannot test. But I set it (in Linux)
via a file that is read at login.

Those files are generated in a temporary directory. If you want it

The system depends on the bind file you use. As far as I know the  
emacs-like shortcuts do have a (weird) system, not easy to learn. I use  
cua (common user access). You can print out a pdf with all shortcuts:  
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/KeyboardShortcuts
Bo Peng has modified standard shortcuts (same link) and added "Theorem"  
etc. shortcuts.

There are some presets available (.bind-file). I doubt, that there is a

The best way is to put your BibTeX file in a place where LaTeX will find it, 
and then define the BIBINPUTS environment variable to point there.

This can be different on the two machines. Then LyX will jut record the file as 
"yourfile.bib" or whatever.
