Firstly, make a copy of /usr/share/lyx/bind/emacs.bind to your ~/.lyx/bind
as the file named my_bindings.bind:

cp /usr/share/lyx/bind/emacs.bind ~/.lyx/bind/my_bindings.bind

Now, add the given lines to it.

\bind "C-x c"                        "word-capitalize"
\bind "C-x l"                        "word-lowcase"
\bind "C-x u"                        "word-upcase"
\bind "M-u"                          "word-upcase"

Then, you need to add the line below to your ~/.lyx/lyxrc:

\bind_file my_bindings

C-x means CONTROL-x. Hold down the control key and type "x". Then type "c"
for the function word-capitalize.
