  Does this mean that I would be able to group keystrokes into
  one command and execute them with some hotkey that I have assigned?

  Another way of putting it is a 'move' command. Besides being handy it would
  eliminate the possibility of doing the cut, having some minor accident happen
  and the buffer getting filled with something else so you can no longer
  paste.

This would be extremely handy.

   Not the same as the above but related, At least for fvwm the standard 
   has been double click highlights (first button) a word, triple click 
   highlights a line and the second button pastes a selection,and 
   other variations on the buttons exist also.  This seems to be missing 
   from Lyx (although it exists from another application to lyx)
   There also it seems there are no standard keyboard editing features
   (Cut a line,word and copy elsewhere,delete a word,line, keyboard macros
   etc)

  A standard set of editing tools from the keyboard would be very helpful. 
  I don't care if its emacs or vi or old dos wordstar like commands.

  I sent my reply before I read this. It doesn't work if you single
  click at another location afterwards. Also it only works once, and
  doesn't work at all in math mode.

 There is a command that will give you an index with subject and author for 
 messages where the spammer could obtain email address for members of the
 list. On one mail list I was one you couldn't post unless you were a member
 which would help eliminate spammers.
