How can I do it?

I tried to do it as seen in the attached picture but LyX gives the

Try binding "unicode-insert 0x2116" (without the quotes) to your key of 
choice.

Daniel,

That will work.


In the next mayor version (2.4), LyX will show both user and system
templates in one dialog, so you can just put your own ones in the user
directory and leave the system ones where they are.


Excellent idea.

I am not sure about losing them when upgrading.
