No, sorry. Shortcuts are global. I can see where it would be cool to

Good to know. And, now that you mention it, it would be complex thing
to implement and probably not worth the trouble.
Just curious: would it be easier to have alternative sets of (global)
shortcuts? Then one could have specialised shortcut sets for
particular tasks or types of document, and a "standard" shortcut set.
This shouldn't be too difficult, right?
You can do this simply by having different user directories that you use
at different times. So, e.g., on Linux you could set up another user
directory as ~/.lyx-special/, and then invoke LyX via:
lyx -userdir ~/.lyx-special/
when you want the other shortcuts.

Would this make sense also for a neo-keyboard?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#Neo
For people writing a lot which should be true for many LyX users
it would speed up writing considerably (mind you the QWERT keyboard was
designed for SLOW writing, since the old typewriters keys got easily
tangled at a fast speed of typing).
Not sure whether the keyboard layout can be set for one particular user;
anyway, neo comes with Debian (and probabaly other Linux distributions).
Keyboard layouts can be selected per user, yes, under
Tools>Preferences>Editing>Keyboard, by selecting a "keymap". LyX does
not have a neo map, but I would suppose it wouldn't be that hard to
create one, if need be. A lot of this is presumably handed by the
desktop already.
