I am using Lyx 2.3.2 on Debian 10.
Apologies if my difficulties do not occur on Lyx 2.3.3.
In my Lyx document I have two Indexes.
For each I want a short-cut key for adding entries to each Index.
For the standard Index I successfully mapped F12 to insert-index.
However, Haven't been able to map F10 to my "Notation" index.
The LFuns file entry for index-insert is:
index-insert
Action Inserts Index entry.
Notion It automatically takes the word on the cursor position.
Syntax index-insert [<TYPE:Name>]
Params <TYPE:Name>: name of the index, if multiple indices are defined.
With an empty argument, the default index is selected.

Reading the documentation I could not figure out what [<TYPE:Name>] meant.
I tried:
index-insert Notation
index-insert Notation:Notation "this is
the attempt I expected to work"
index-insert <Notation:Notation>
All three were accepted but when I type F10 I get:
Idx (unknown type!)
What have I done wrong?
Wish List Note: while I want my F12 key mapping to apply to all my Lyx
documents (which is what happens), I wanted F10 to be specific to
this document.
It would be nice if I could create my own .bind file and in my document settings
(or somewhere) be able to select for my own .bind file to be used.
If this functionality exists somewhere
in Lyx I couldn't find it.
Thanks for you interest in my post.
