In my opinion, ERT is not a proper solution but a workaround...
Another workaround:
You can have a many many character styles in your document, but
only three are easy accessible by the workbar buttons. (And only one of
these is user settable.)
But, if you don't need the Noun style at all in your document, you can use
this button for teletype by either
Inserting \renewcommand{\noun}[1]{\texttt{#1}} in your LaTeX Preamble
or after finishing the editing replace in your .lyx file (with a "normal"
editor or a script)
\noun on with \family typewriter and
\noun default with \family default
Hope this helps (although it does not replace the wish for a better support
of character style changes)
