Hi,

I currently write a lot of mathematical documents in TeXmacs, mainly
because the way you can type formulas is very intuitive.

Two basic examples for those who don't know about it :
  * Begin a formula : Only the $ sign, no Ctrl/Meta/Alt keys
LyX has very powerful and flexible shortcut capabilities. The default for getting into 
math mode is "Opt-m m" but you can add a shortcut that will enable $ to do the 
same.

Which will work fine so long as you never need to use the dollar sign as a dollar sign. There is no reason not to tie such a command to a simple keystroke that is not a character. I use F10, so no key-chord. Ctrl keys and the like are not really inherently evil; you can use them and they don't get confused with their other uses.
