Go to Tools> Preferences> Editing> Shortcuts, enter "completion" in the search field, select "completion-popup", hit "Modify", put the cursor in the blank field to the left of the "Delete Key" button, and then enter the shortcut that works for you. Alt-Shift-Down Arrow seems to be available here and makes some kind of sense.

In this case the order of commands does not matter, because Lyx takes the current state of the file from the editor, not from disk. So your suggestion works perferctly for me. Thank you, Andrew!

David A hackish way is to insert and then delete a space character, to 'dirty' the document, which should enable the buffer-write: command-sequence space-insert normal; char-delete-backward; buffer-write; master-buffer-update; but I suspect "buffer-write; master-buffer-update" is incompatible with "command-sequence" as it presently exists.

Keyboard macros: disabled commands and autocomplete
I have two questions concerning keyboard macros / commands: 1) I'd like to bind a shortkey to the following command sequence: command-sequence buffer-write; master-buffer-update; i.e. save the current document, then update the preview of the master document. In principle, this works. However, if the document is already saved, the "buffer-write" command is disabled and consequently the second command is not executed, neither. Is it possible to enforce execution of the second command? 2) I work on a document with many math macros having long names, several of them beginning with the same string. When entering an ambiguous string, an autocomplete window opens offering a choice of commands and macros that begin with that string (see image attached). This is very helpful. However, the delay between entering the string and the autocomplete window appearance is bothering me. Many IDEs have shortkeys for opening the autocompletion. Does such a shortkey in Lyx exist?
