I don't think this is widely used/needed by the general public.
How about creating this keybinding yourself?
It should be something like
command-sequence; ert-insert; insert \enlargethispage{\baselineskip}
I do not remember the exact macro names now.
* Have a look at the LyX wiki for help with customizing bindings using
command-sequence.
* Try the command sequence in the minibuffer (Alt-x ...) first.
Alternatively, you could consider defining a special Style in a layout
module and select it via the Style drop-down list (or again a shortcut).
Make sure to document your solution, either in a follow up or (more
durable) in the LyX wiki at wiki.lyx.org.

I found an even longer example in my bind file:
# insert a centered graphic in a figure float:
\bind C-S-B command-sequence float-insert figure; break-paragraph;
ert-insert; self-insert \centering ;inset-toggle;graphics-insert
which could be scaled down to your needs:

command-sequence ert-insert; self-insert \enlargethispage{\baselineskip}
as Funktion.

I've never used it myself. You could bind it to some shortcut easily
enough. Personally, I wouldn't be too excited about a permanent binding
-- just more clutter in my case.

Ralf,
I use \enlargethispage on my eBook book cover, but I really don't understand
it. What you said about keeping something all together sounded interesting,
because I know as figures start approaching 1/4 page in each length, ugly
spacing issues happen. Could you please explain the details of
\enlargethispage to all of us?
Thanks

well, I am far from being a pro, but \enlargethispage simply does that: enlarge
the current page - from a latex documentation:
\enlargethispage{size}:
Enlarge the \textheight for the current page by the specified amount; e.g.
\enlargethispage{\baselineskip} will allow one additional line
\enlargethispage*{size}:
The starred form tries to squeeze the material together on the page as much as
possible. This is normally used together with an explicit \pagebreak
if you have a lot of large figures in a chapter (which i do) it can be difficult
to have them in the place where you would like them and also have a good looking
text - enlargethispage gives you an additional amount of freedom in that case,
so that the paragraph does not continue on the next page with only a few words
