Maye some form of LaTeX conditional (\newif), which you then pass as a
Custom option in Documents->Settings?

I'd recommend this approach. I don't think we really want to
implement a full-fledged LaTeX editor inside LyX. What might be more
plausible, and something I think we have considered, is to have some
way to launch an external text editor and then read back whatever's
provided, kind of like we do with graphics (say).
We already have line-begin, self-insert and char-delete-forward
LFUNs. If someone were to add a "for-each-selected-line" LFUN (with a
shorter name) that would take a command or command-sequence as its
argument, block comment/uncomment could be done as a macro.
Those don't apply in the case of hte LaTeX preamble. That's just a

The approach I use is to write a separate, external, preamble.tex file that
I then put alongside the .lyx file and in LyX's premable I issue
"\input{preamble.tex}". Then, I can (un)comment the contained behavior in
one line. Naturally, one can use multiple preamble files to segregate

Toggle comments in Lyx->LaTeX Preamble
Hello everyone, I have large sections of customized TeX code in the LaTeX preamble of some LyX templates I've created over time. I would like to know if there's a way to quickly toggle between commented and uncommented line for a given selection of lines (say, with a keyboard shortcut), and in case there's not a quick way to do this, I would like to ask the developers if they can include this feature in Settings->Document->LaTeX Preamble and in the TeX code environment (the one you have with Ctrl+L), it would also be great if a message of how to do so (toggle comment lines keyboard shortcut) could be included in the Settings->Document->LaTeX Preamble sub-window. I'm sure I've read somewhere that LyX tries to the highest extent to be so complete that users don't usually have to put TeX or Preamble code lines, but as we users have some really customized and variable needs, I think this would be a good feature to have in order to be more productive: we could then toggle between the customization lines of our templates and documents for different reasons, be them debugging or changes in document appearance.
