In this case, a greek keyboard layout should solve the problem.

Which OS are you using? If Linux, which window manager or desktop
environment?

E.g. with KDE it is simple to set up alternative keyboard layouts
that can be switched clicking on a button in the taskbar.

Alternatively to the system-level keybord layout, you can use the
keyboard customization in LyX. See section 4.4 of Help>Customization 
(from reading it, I gues that you cannot switch keymaps easily from
inside a running LyX, though).

To stress the comparing with German,

I never use this feature as my keyboard has an 'ä' key at an easy
accessible position. This way I have ä in both, LyX and printout
without any problems.
