I have to do something slightly different namely

I'd rather do:

* Enter "command-alternatives in-ipa ; ipa-insert" (without the
quotes) to Function
* Move the Cursor to the shortcut Area (the grey field)
* Perform the actual keyboard shortcut (e.g., Alt+I)
* Apply and Save
The bind file is shown as cua in which there is no binding for
ipa-insert. (Someone please tell me if I'm wrong)
Right.
so after I click on Modify I have to select New and then enter the
binding. So I enter C-x i and ipa-insert and it does indeed
"stick" in the sense I described before.
Ctrl-X is not a good idea. This is the default binding for "cut" (and
Alt-X ist the default binding for the minibuffer).
I can close LyX and restart it and look at cua.bind and it's still
there. (I do that in Emacs in case you're wondering. The path on
my machine is Program Files (x86) > LyX 2.2 > Resources > bind >
cua.bind.)
However cua.bind cannot possibly be the default bind file because
if I am in LyX and type C-x it says "command disabled" so I can't
even do "cut". I think I can figure out how to load the cua
bindings but my concern is that it will reset some of the default
bindings. I also use LyX for math and logic and I don't want to
lose those shortcuts.
The user-defined shortcuts are not saved in cua.bind, but in
user.bind, which is in your personal LyX directory, in the bind subfolder.
You can even directly copy the following to this file (and restart LyX):
\bind "M-I" "command-alternatives in-ipa ; ipa-insert"

Please compare to
https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/KeyboardShortcuts#StandardKeybindings
<https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/KeyboardShortcuts#StandardKeybindings>
where it says "You can use the script LyxBindings
<https://wiki.lyx.org/Tools/LyxBindings> to generate your own
documentats describing for your configuration of keyboard
shortcuts. Some users experience the complete loss of every
bindings after changes. In that case, a .bind file needs to be
reselected in the menu
(Tools/Preferences/Editing/Shortcuts/Browse). /The cua.bind file
is the basic one./"
Any further help would be greatly appreciated.

Wow! Jurgen comes to the rescue once again. Jurgen you are indeed a
genius. Everything now works flawlessly. With your permission Jurgen I
will write this all up and put it on the wiki unless you don't want me
to. I will give you full credit for everything in the first line.
Jurgen I can't thank you enough. I can die happy now. It's time for me
to get to work and use this wonderful creation of yours.
