You should switch to emacs keybindings that way you can use:
C-x C-c to quit lyx
C-x k to kill the buffer
M-f d to revert the buffer
Then you'll only be concerned that
C-w is cut
C-r is reverse search (in normal emacs but not bound in our case)
Either that or create your own set of bindings -- copy your current
favourite to ~/.lyx/bind/my_bindings_are_better_than_your_bindings.bind
and edit those to your hearts content. But remember to set your binding
file in Edit->Preferences->Look&Feel->Interface->Key_Bindings or in your
~/.lyx/lyxrc in versions <= 1.1.5 (\bind_file xxxx).
