I suspect one thing Mr Helm wanted to know is whether there is a way to use the Ctrl key instead of the Cmd key for "C-..." commands. I believe Mac QT doesn't allow this. A solution that works reasonably well for me is to use uControl (http://gnufoo.org/ucontrol/ucontrol.html) to map CapsLock to Cmd, which, for LyX anyway, puts what is effectvely the control key where God intended it to be (though the damn capslock light still goes off and on...).
