Alternatively, create a math-macro. For example, if I open up a new,
empty document and then type
M-x (the Alt key and 'x' at the same time)
the cursor is placed in the minibuffer at the bottom of the LyX
window.
Typing in this window:
math-macro Vector 1[Return]
creates a math-macro in the main LyX window, looking something like:
Macro: Vector: [][]
Input the latex definition of the macro in the first box. In my case
that would be
Macro: Vector: [\boldmath{#1}][]
Usually you should leave the second box empty. It is a useful hack for
those times when the math editor doesn't provide visual feedback for
the macro you have defined. For example, LyX 1.3.x has no native
support for \boldmath, so you can 'fix' the display by telling LyX to
use \mathbf or similar.
Macro: Vector: [\boldmath{#1}][\mathbf<space>#1]
where <space> is a literal space char. Note that, because LyX
understands \mathbf, this gets translated so that the '#1' is typeset
in bold.
What to put in the box? Whatever SW uses as its definition of \unit.
